Goodreads Synopsis:

An epic dungeon-busting adventure inspired by One Thousand and One Nights!

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 secrets, but Aladdin may be just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks.

The saga of the lost world of Alma Tran continues. Solomon readies for a final battle against his father David, but the fate of the world may already be set. Solomon and his comrades confront the ultimate power in this universe in a bid to prevent the apocalypse. And as everything begins to fall apart, Ugo puts a desperate plan in motion--if this world cannot be saved, perhaps there can be hope for the next...

Review: 

It appears that we've finally come to the conclusion of the history lesson. We see what the fight has led to, what Solomon was forced to do. It's rather controversial, what his decision is, and whether it was the right one. As with everything, some people agree and other loudly protest. It leads to more problems, sometimes, more pressure for the people who have to follow it.
And then we see how Aladdin comes into play, and where he's actually from. We learn that he's got a deeper background than he lets on, and that he probably knows a lot more than most would think.
I'm not really feeling this series most of the time, and this plot has been going for too long. But I guess I'm along for the ride, either way.
