Goodreads Synopsis:
Deep within the desert
lie the mysterious Dungeons, vast stores of riches there for the taking
by anyone lucky enough to find them and brave enough to venture into the
depths from where few have ever returned. Plucky young adventurer
Aladdin means to find the Dungeons and their riches, but Aladdin may be
just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks.
Aladdin continues his training in Magnoshutatt, but the situation there is difficult. Magomett’s goal is the creation of a country of magicians free of interference from normal humans. Aladdin and his friend Titus are against this, but there is little they can do. When war breaks out between Magnoshutatt and Leam, Aladdin and Titus must choose a side to fight on, and the choice won’t be an easy one.

Review:
I’m still sure that
if I really followed this series, I would be a fan. It definitely seems like
something I would love.
I missed a few
volumes, so we jump into this one with Aladdin at a magician school, learning
the history of magicians and humans from a very biased teacher. The teacher
emphasizes that humans are the ones who seek power and control and overtake
things, whereas magicians want knowledge. Soon we learn, though, that the
teacher looks down on humans.
There are some
interesting revelations about the school, as well as Aladdin’s friend Titus.
And then war starts.
I was a little lost
in this, but the storyline was interesting. I was hoping to see more of
Morgiana and the other characters, but that’s okay. It looks like Alibaba will
be showing up soon. It seems like Aladdin is a lot smarter than he looks for
his age.
This is an
intriguing series, and I do hope to catch up with it at some point.
