Becoming Jinn Lori Goldstein Books

Lori Goldstein’s debut, BECOMING JINN, is a perfect mix of sweet, sad, funny, heartwarming, captivating and intriguing. It’s one of those stories that draws you in at the outset with an opening sentence that will pique your curiosity, and keeps you hooked with its entertaining characters, fascinating lore, engaging plot and great writing.

It introduces a main character who is likable, relatable, well-meaning, impulsive, stubborn, and at times selfish, but who is sure to make you laugh, roll your eyes, shake your head at some of the decisions she makes and situations she finds herself in, and sympathize with her for the lack of control she has over her own life.

Azra knew that the day she turned sixteen her entire life would change. Not that she had much freedom before, but now she’d be losing most of what little she did have.Try as she might, she could not alter the changes to her appearance that came with becoming jinn. She could not stop the bangle from being locked on her wrist that would allow her to use her powers to grant wishes. She could not refuse the assignments she was given without dire consequences.

But she would not hide herself away from the human world, having only her “sisters” as friends. She would not give up her friendship with Henry or forget about her crush on Nate or quit her job at the beach. She would not fall in line and become the model Jinn her mother was just because it was easier or safer or because her family wanted her to.

The Afrit may have the ability to take away everything from her, but if she could keep them from finding out who she was friends with, what she was doing, the rules she was breaking, the secrets she was keeping, maybe she wouldn’t have to completely lose herself. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she would not give up without trying to have it all. She just wished she knew what the consequences would be from the start.

Author Lori Goldstein has created an enchanting and incredibly addictive first book in her series that teases a world that is magical and dangerous and oppressive and beautiful. She introduces a people who have incredible gifts and can do amazing things but are kept on a short leash, are separated from their families, and are faced with terrible punishment if they step out of line. She gives readers a story that is exciting and humorous and heartbreaking and she presents it from the point of view of an endearing main character who is far from perfect but one worth rooting for.

BECOMING JINN is a positively delightful and spellbinding read that highlights the risks of having too much power, the danger of keeping secrets, and the importance of friends and family. It’s a story that will entertain from start to finish and one that will leave readers anxious for the sequel.

Becoming Jinn Lori Goldstein Books Reviews

Becoming Jinn starts out with the feeling of a typical YA fantasy, complete with coming-of-age themes and discovery of new magic. I didn’t get far into the novel, however, before my expectations jumped ship--in the best possible way.

Where I expected a mean-girl storyline, I was delighted to find themes of love and friendship. I can’t remember the last time I read a YA novel with such a wonderful portrayal of female friendships - the good, the bad, and the complicated. These relationships are developed not only between Azra and her Jinn sisters, but also between the women in Azra’s mother’s generation.

Where I expected a pretty straightforward “teen learning her powers” story, Lori Goldstein offered twist after twist to keep me guessing throughout. The problems Azra faces are deep and emotional. I found her journey to be satisfying and relatable, and I was definitely cheering--not only for her to win, but for her to understand the world (and her family) in a new light.

With all its twists and turns, Becoming Jinn is an exciting, heartfelt novel. I could hardly put it down!
I'm not a big reader of YA but I couldn't resist a tale about jinn. I was a little worried at first, many of the facts about the world were handed out with scant explanation. And Azra was a little off-putting, too. I was afraid the story line would be filled with pouty teen who doesn't get her way and genies who have to grant wishes with no reasoning behind that, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The deeper the story got, the more more there was to Azra. As she started to give her new life a chance and learn more about her jinn heritage, I liked her more and more. She built her relationships with her mother and her human friends, and gave her Jinn sisters a chance.

Further along in the story, we also got an explanation for why the Afrit need the Jinn to grant wishes. It all began to make sense in a super interesting way. There was much more to the story than a girl who doesn't want to grant wishes. I really liked how the choice of humans to grant wishes to wasn't up to Azra, but was decided by the Afrit. And the idea that she was linked to five other Jinn her age in a close group gave this a very unique aspect.

There is a love triangle, but for once, I couldn't say where it's headed. I do know I'm Team Henry!

I'd give it a five, except Becoming Jinn did end in an open cliffhanger. Not much got wrapped up in a tidy bundle when the book ended. That I didn't like so much. I guess I need to get the sequel to find out how it ends.
