Rendition During Books The Forbidden Wish (The Forbidden Wish #1)
She is the most powerful Jinni of all. He is a boy from the streets. Their love will shake the world...When Aladdin discovers Zahra's jinni lamp, Zahra is thrust back into a world she hasn't seen in hundreds of years—a world where magic is forbidden and Zahra's very existence is illegal. She must disguise herself to stay alive, using ancient shape-shifting magic, until her new master has selected his three wishes.
But when the King of the Jinn offers Zahra a chance to be free of her lamp forever, she seizes the opportunity—only to discover she is falling in love with Aladdin. When saving herself means betraying him, Zahra must decide once and for all: is winning her freedom worth losing her heart?
As time unravels and her enemies close in, Zahra finds herself suspended between danger and desire in this dazzling retelling of Aladdin from acclaimed author Jessica Khoury.

I have no form, I have no name. I am the Slave of the Lamp, and your will is my will. Your wishes are my commands.The lamp's Jinni can grant your three wishes, here is my first: Yeah, I am talking about Aladdin.Habibas, this book is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Bubbling and sizzling with lush imagination, with magic laced into every word and romance that doesn't make you gag, this book is a literary firecracker! One of the best novels I have read this year, The Forbidden Wish is the storythis is better than the original story of aladdin and im not even sorry that i think this.this is just so well-balanced between creating a fresh new story with also having the subtle echoes of something familiar. and each new and original additional to the old tale is just so vibrant, that it totally outshines everything i thought i knew about the original story. although, i have come to the conclusion that i can read anything related to arabian nights and i will absolutely adore it. i
"My name," I stammer. "I mean... one of them. You can call me Zahra."He turns around fully, his grin as wide and bright as the moon. "I'm Aladdin." Thank God for reviews. Without them, I would have taken one look at the description of earth-shaking love, went nope and clicked away.Is The Forbidden Wish heavy on romance? Admittedly, yes. Very early on in the story, Zahra develops an attraction for Aladdin, the boy, as we all know from the story, who let the genie (called "jinni" here) out of the
4.5"All the world is in your shadow."By way of introduction, I should inform you that Khoury's Aladdin spoke to my infamously cold heart. I think that, on my infatuation scale, this one reaches a Paul Markov level. Which means I'm crushing on the guy. Very hard. (Though Paul Markov still remains a case on his own and my spiritual connection to him has by now achieved the status of True Love. Time will tell if with Aladdin will happen as much.) So, well, you see how I'll probably won't be 100%
This might be more like a 4.5 but MAN OH MAN did I love this book.ZAHRA MY BBY MY FAVORITE FOREVER. I also really loved the small subtle Aladdin movie references they were so great and AHHHH Aladdin is one of my faves so this book was perfect for my Disney loving heart. WORLD BUILDING GREAT ALL THE THINGS GREAT.Sometimes there were some things that didn't make sense and sometimes there were pacing issues, but those are really the only things I didn't love about this book.
Love is a path lined with roses, I say bitterly. But it leads to a cliffs edge, and all who follow it tumble to their doom. Which Character from The Forbidden Wish are you? take the quiz right here! I got Zahra, my favourite character in this book!! Tell me who you got in the comment! This book was close to perfection! I havent planned to read this book yet. I didnt even hear about it before its release. But my in a couple of weeks, my feed has been filled by positive reviews and most of my
