The Orphan's Wish by Melanie Dickerson
3.0
I bought the book at the bookstore yesterday. Pretty cover at least. A disappointing fairy tale retelling though, which was historical and without magic, and Christian fiction.
The story was okay, and got more exciting around halfway in. I liked the characters alright, but they weren’t phenomenal, and didn’t feel all that fleshed out. Honestly, the story, while somewhat interesting once it got going, didn’t have the most exciting characters or romance. 3 stars. The actual retelling aspect was disappointing, as pretty much the only element of the original Aladdin it retained was character names.
I would not recommend it.
