review 1: Overall, I'm not a fan of new updates to classic tales. Generally these updates put a twist of updates on a strong original story, but this takes an existing plot and turns it into something wonderfully unique. It's also refreshing to see steampunk that's not set in England. There is a whole other world during the existence of Victoria or any of the other kings and queens. Since the story is of the steampunk genre, you have all the mechanical twists. However, Tee still gives you a genie and flying carpet which was cool in its own right.My only big complaint was the editing. Others have mentioned it and given the story lower stars. I understand because errors can take you from the flow of the story and turn you into an English teacher grading a paper. So, I would normally ... morego with three stars for this, but I like Aladdin and magic carpets and this twist was good. So, to the author, please edit it a little better for future readers.
review 2: This is a wonderful steampunk retelling of one of my all-time favorite stories. The magic carpet was a treat, and unlike other adaptations (I'm looking at you, Disney), the genie does not steal the show. Aladdin is the star of this tale and rightfully so. It is also a fully realized setting and I was pulled in almost instantly.I get the feeling this is set up for either another novella or perhaps the beginning of a full tale. I hope I am correct because I would love to see where this goes next. less
