I do like Katee’s writing and the way she creates these world and characters. Just not a fan of this kink so wasn’t my favourite

I’m a little lost for words with this books. I will say this book really caught me off guard. I’ve only read the Dark Olympus series by the author, so coming from that was way different and not what I was expecting. This was so much more smuttier and kinkier.
The book is really short, a little over 200 pages. And a good portion of it is sex related. The story almost starts off with sex. There was a thrown in plot but really it just seemed confusing at times and some ideas were not fully fleshed out. It feels this book was started in a middle of a bigger idea and we just have a snippet. The drama with Ali and Jasmine’s dad were weak points. Honestly I was lost on why they were the antagonists.
Jasmine- she is a sheltered princess who is used as a pawn her whole life. Later becomes a sex toy for Jafar. For someone who has been sheltered her whole life she way kinkier than what would seem realistic. She really goes from 0 to 100. No baby steps. At the end is rushed to someone who is self dependent and no longer the ‘submissive, docile,’ person she was a few pages ago. There wasn’t any real character development.
Jafar- he was just really kinky and horny for Jasmine. Super controlling with a daddy kink. That’s really all I got.
There was times in between sex scenes where it just drivel. Really mundane and boring conversations.
I liked Tink. I’m looking for to her and Hook’s book.
The writing- eh. There was a lot of fractured sentences and one word lines. The style was ok. I feel like transitioning to ideas were a little fast at times. I liked her imagery and her descriptions were alright.
I will say, the best part about this was the sex. Don’t expect romance out of this. Even though, the feelings toward the end were rushed and felt a little forced.
But basically this was just horny Disney fanfiction. Unfortunately, this retelling wasn’t a hit for me.

There was essentially no plot or story happening in this book - this was basically all smut. The characters were flat, their choices and motivations at times unclear, and the ending, wherein a character makes a choice that shows a complete personality change/shift that had not been developed at all, came out of nowhere. Read it if you want a steamy Disney retelling.

This is not Disney’s Aladdin. Jafar had way more depth than I have seen/read before. A villain yes, but Jasmine has a bit of villain in her too.
