And even when I haven’t read many stories circling Jinns, I’ve seen that mythological character in passing, and not just the genie inside a lamp. We are all familiar with the story of Aladdin. It of course, makes you grow more interested in what lies underneath. This said, after reading more about Persian mythology, I can see a lot of the elements embedded in this story. My mind was struggling to decide if all the pieces belonged to the same puzzle, or if there was a way to modify those pieces edges to make them match. I wasn’t sure all those elements worked well together. It felt like I was inside of a parallel Marvel universe, in this case contemporary religion-a 21st century reality-mixed with fantasy. Therefore, at some point I was confused with the presence of God and a devil similar to Lucifer plus forested magic, Jinns and a dragon. However, it may be due to the fact that I’m no expert in Persian mythology. I believe the best word I have to describe this book is strange.
