5 stars My only complaint about this book is that it was too short, but I won’t let that affect my rating. The author stays true to the story of Aladdin and gives it much more depth of feeling than the original fairytale, but like a fairytale, it is relatively short. I think that she could have added more details about the intervening years between Ian and Valentina’s first meeting, and I don’t like that she suggested reading Shear Heaven to learn more about Valentina’s marriage to Steve. Don’t get me wrong. I’m interested in reading Shear Heaven, but I feel like this book should have included more about those years. Despite my disappointment, there were some wonderful statements about love and I particularly liked this one: “...you were the brightest light my dark life had ever known. Because I didn’t know what beauty was, what love was, what was possible, until I met you. Because when God sees fit to place an angel in your life, you don’t ask how much it’ll cost.” It was statements like this one that poetically conveyed the love shared by these two characters. I really liked this story and I highly recommend it. June 13, 2020
