Plot: When the sacred Solomon Grimoire - the most powerful book for djinnkind - goes missing, Philippa and John are looped into trying to find it before someone can do permanent damage with it. I always like it when I'm surprised by the villain's identity. One of the villains was quite obvious from the beginning, while the other took me somewhat by surprise, which was nice. Nimrod is still an awesomely amusing uncle, and the villains of the piece are not so much wicked as they are just determined to get what they want. They have a great twin-sibling relationship, teasing each other and fighting sometimes like real siblings, but they're not always constantly at one another's throats, which gets annoying with some sibling pairings. So, yes, I like it.Ĭharacters: John and Philippa continue to be great kid protagonists, leaping into adventure without too much forethought (but they're not rash, either), and meeting danger head-on. Cover Blurb: Yes or No? It's exciting, it's excellent art, and you can't see the character's face.
