review 1: I won't rate this book because I didn't get very far into it. And that is a shame because I was interested in where the story was going. However, the formatting and editing was so bad that the book was unreadable for me. To be fair, this book was a read-to-review galley so maybe it was a different version than the version that was published in 2011. I hope so for the author's sake. The version that I read was very very choppy and confusing to read. It took me 10 minutes to read one page and I am a lightning fast reader. Very disappointing. review 2: I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review and I must say, though I like the idea of the Djinn and being mixed myself, seeing a mixed heroine was a nice turn for me, but the story itself was a... morell over the place just like Sebastian's mood and reactions. Right from the beginning it felt like the author wasn't in touch with her inner teen self. I felt awkward reading some points of the story, because it didn't feel genuine, but rather forced. While the story as a whole was not bad, I couldn't bring myself to love it and I wanted to so badly! The book had so much promise. The lore of the djinn and how it was incorporated with the other creatures was great, but not enough to bring me back for more unfortunately. less
