Only a scant amount of characters were comparable in personality to the ones in the original version. This action-packed book had a rather sufficiently built world, easily visualized, but what was lacking – almost missing – was characterization. When there were some, they were mostly featuring Aladdin and Jasmine cuddling, kissing. Certainly, the author’s purpose was to twist the story we all know about and give us a different version of it, a darker one. What if it were Jafar who summoned the genie? What if he became the new sultan, was granted a great power no one else could surpass and took complete control of the city of Agrabah?Ĭan you recognize your dearly loved fairy tale in this? I couldn’t. And readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way again. What happens next? A Street Rat becomes a leader. But soon their fight for freedom threatens to tear the kingdom apart in a costly civil war. Agrabah lives in fear, waiting for his third and final wish.To stop the power-mad ruler, Aladdin and the deposed Princess Jasmine must unite the people of Agrabah in rebellion. When Jafar steals the Genie’s lamp, he uses his first two wishes to become sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Each book asks the question: What if one key moment from a familiar Disney film was changed? This dark and daring version of Aladdin twists the original story with the question: What if Jafar was the first one to summon the Genie?
