Jumanah was young when the suzerain took her in his arms and bestowed upon her a young child after which he tossed her out to be with his next conquest. Jumanah’s daughter is named Jamaila, or Desert Rose.  Jumanah dies one day and Jamaila is left to pick up the pieces of her life and deal with being thrown into the dungeon after she mouths off to the suzerain, her father.  Will she find her way to fame and fortune or to the death no one should have wished upon them? 

This book was a interesting read, however the characters all sort of clumped together and seemed to be the same characters and the fact that this book doesn’t stand on its own very well. The Bottle of the Dijinn tells stories about characters from previous books and unless the reader has already read the books they are apt to be rather lost.  If one has read the earlier books in the series though, you are transported to a world of magic and wonder.  Also this reviewer still was given the feeling of being extremely connected to Jamaila, the main character.  In some ways Jamaila and what happens on the last page are the only best parts of this tale.  Yet they are so good that this book rates a three heart rating.
