Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-16 00:00:00 Howard Katz After a few more challenging reads I felt the need for a palate cleanser and this worked just fine. TAA might be the most British book I've ever read, from the style to the characters to the humor. But I can't complain about that. The writing is impeccable and you can really feel the magic of this world P.B.Kerr created. The world building and mythology are excellent, even though that is a two edged sword. While I loved all the interesting little facts, the book felt like setup for the most part. But it was a setup that was needed for future installments (I can confirm that because I am currently at book #3 and it is amazing!). I mentioned how all things feel British: the villain, Iblis, is the same. He could be a Bond villain. And that is good and bad. He is not really that believable as a 'the most even djinni in the universe', but as I said, things get better in future books. One thing I will say is that this gave me the same feeling as a Dan Brown book: a well documented travel work. Kerr seems as in love with the numerous places the book visits as with the book itself. And every novel in the series is the same: an Indiana Jones/Robert Langdon type adventure. The pacing is a bit slow because of all the setup, but in the end it is worth it. I highly recommend this series.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-08 00:00:00 David Lewis This book has a lot of xenophobia and fatphobia in it. It constantly throws down on anyone who is not able-bodied, thin, gender-conforming, and white British/American. The main characters do black face to commit a crime because it was "suitable for carrying out a burglary." I didn't like any of the characters. I didn't care for writing or pacing. I did not enjoy this reading experience much at all, and I sadly don't recommend this.
