Enemy of the Lamp (Chronicles of the Lamp Book 3)

On the younger end of the YA spectrum, but I'm excited to watch Ginn grow up and come into her own. I have just finished this story about two days ago. This is one of those great stories that I was fortunate to came upon.

Shadow of the Lamp (Chronicles of the Lamp Book 2)

I found this through World Weaver Press' newsletter. After reading the blurb, my curiosity was piqued so I signed up to review this book. They sent me the first two books in the series. Obviously, as suggested by the title, this is about genies or djinns. Aside from the very popular Disney's Alladin, I have only read one other book about djinns Stone Bearers by Jac I have just finished this story about two days ago.

It was a good story too. Having not read a lot of books with the same topic just added fuel to my interest. What kind of genie story this could be?

• Surface- and Groundwater Quality Changes in Periods of Water Scarcity (Springer Theses)!
• Charles Eades.
• Travels in Tartary, Thibet, and China during the years 1844-5-6 Volume 1?
• Heir to the Lamp?
• Crabby & Nabby, A Tale of Two Blue Crabs (Suzanne Tates Nature Series).
• www.newyorkethnicfood.com: Charles Eades: Books, Biography, Blogs, Audiobooks, Kindle?

The story is similar in a way to the story I have mentioned earlier. The main character is the also a girl and there is a genie in the story. Both stories have young heroines that are out to find and prove themselves. And this is where I draw the line separating the two stories. There could be a lot of ways in which they are different. Heir to the lamp is more current in its setting and characters. It also tends to be hilarious since it never failed to paint a smile on my face because of its sometimes annoying yet cute characters. Just like I am, you will find you can't decide if the Terrible Twosome are too cute and smart or just plain little devils.

You will definitely wish that the Lawsons were your neighbors. Again, this is a story of a thirteen-year old finding her roots only it was so freaking unbelievable and awesome. The main character Ginn or Virginia was just finding out about her biological parents and her origins alongside just becoming a teenager with its perks and downside. Knowing about where she came from made her appreciate more the blessing of what a great adoptive family she has, even though they are loud and chaotic most of the time.

She never lacked for love and support from them, even from the Terrible Twosome. The story transported me to a marvelous adventure. There were no carpet rides but it was amazing none-the-less. This felt like a story within a story with all the other fictional and mythical characters and creatures being introduced. Turning the Grimm Brothers into the bad guys was not really unheard of but it was novel enough to me.

One thing is for sure, I like this genie story and I can't wait to get on to the next book. This magical journey is both entertaining and addicting. I can't help but dive into the next book because my curiosity got the best of me. I am so happy I found this book or more appropriately, this book found me.

Thank you again, World Weaver Press for the copy.

The Golden Lamps

I keep my size-four figure safely enclosed in a generous layer of bubble-wrap. It's the only reason I'm wearing a size twelve. Apr 01, Ariyana Spencer rated it really liked it. Heir to the Lamp is a fun start to what I'm sure will be a great series. This first book of the Genie Chronicles is a quick read that sets up the characters and gives us a look at 13 year-old Ginn's life as it's turned upside down by a fantastical, well, inheritance hence the title. Ginn herself is a spunky gem of a character, and I really like her big quirky family, as well as the secondary characters.

And, honestly, there just aren't enough books about djinn out there, right? To those I migh Heir to the Lamp is a fun start to what I'm sure will be a great series. To those I might recommend this book to, I would definitely point out this tale is on the younger end of the YA category, since so many YA books at the moment deal with darker, older teen themes. As an adult who enjoys both adult, YA, and middle grade reads, I thought it was refreshing to see a year-old with normal year-old thoughts and problems with a helping of magic on top.

The second book is going straight to my TBR list. Feb 07, Suzanne rated it really liked it.

On her thirteenth birthday, Ginn wants to win a basketball game and get a cell phone. Both her wishes come true, but with rather unexpected consequences. Soon she's unravelling a mystery involving a beautiful lamp, an evil order of magicians and her own birth mother, who turns out to be much more than Ginn had originally imagined This smart, funny YA fantasy book introduces a spunky heroine, her large and affectionate family, and a terrific alternate universe of djinn, imps, and magical spirits.

Soon she's unravelling a mystery involving a beautiful lamp, an evil order of magicians and her own birth mother, who turns out to be much more than Ginn had originally imagined. The novel blends history and mythology with first-rate storytelling and is the first book in a humorous and exciting new series for younger teens.

An accomplished writer, author Michelle Lowry Combs deftly keeps this story moving, despite its complex backstory. Ginn's large family makes for an extensive array of specific, attractive and diverse characters--a welcome and wonderful alternative to the plethora of loner, orphaned, marginalized magic workers in other fictional universes. Because of the length of the book, and the propellant action, some of Ginn's family and friends are barely introduced.

I look forward to later books in this series, when these characters can be more deeply and thoroughly developed. They are a lot of fun! May 08, Kristina Wojtaszek rated it it was amazing Shelves: Magic melded with contemporary teenage life, complicated by an oversized family; this is YA fantasy Big Mac style! And with an extra large order of humor on the side.

It's obvious Michelle Lowery Combs writes with experience when it comes to the over abundance of chaos and love found in a large family, but she also nails the voice of 13 year old Ginn, who's snarky sense of humor and emerging confidence keep the pages turning at a wild pace.

And she brings the ancient legend of the Djinn to life with an intriguing realm of genies who are often called to serve the world's most powerful and eccentric conjurers.

Are You an Author?

This is not Narnia; this is not Lord of the Rings. The Terrestria Chronicles were written to honor Christ and be as true to Scripture as possible. Some readers have compared the Terrestria books to The Pilgrim's Progress, though this series is much more readable, relevant, and action-packed than Bunyan's classic work. Written for ages ten and up, the Terrestria series is ideal for family devotions, classroom use, or individual enjoyment.

Many adverbs and adjectives are recycled throughout the series. In fact, Josiah is not even introduced in the first quarter of the book.

This confused my kids a bit, especially since the previous five books had brought him in quickly. I app This series by Ed Dunlop has been interesting for my kids ages 8 and 6 ; however, the writing and vocabulary are really not challenging at all. I appreciate the biblical lessons that Dunlop tries to teach in these books, but Dunlop's allegorical style is such that everything is pretty predictable. I wish that the language had been more literary; it would have been much more fulfilling to share this series with my kids.

Sep 02, Connie rated it really liked it Shelves: Pride, greed, the allure of wealth and status distract all of us from the King's purpose for us. We must be alert and flee these diversions that keep us from serving the King wholeheartedly and building the Castle of Hope, our protection from the enemy. In case any of my friends are wondering, I read some books because they come highly recommended by grandchildren. Dec 26, Heather rated it really liked it. Provide feedback about this page.
