The Secret Of Ka (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

This was a fairly good book. Its about genies which is super neat and something I haven't read about yet. Sara got on my nerves every once in a while, but for the majority, it was good. I loved the family she stayed with. The ending of this book did not suffice however. There we're so many questions left unanswered and many things that needed to be finished. It was like the start of trilogy that the author decided to never finish. A story of an American girl who while visting in Turkey with her father falls in love with a local boy, discovers a flying carpet that takes her to an island inhabited with djinns (genies), and must prevent a war between three mystical races from starting up once again. An enjoyable novel somewhat but I found the two main characters to lack real personality. They are typical teenagers: selfish, hotheaded, and stubborn. Because of this I felt no chemistry between them and their love to be artificial, as if they were thrown together simply because the author felt that there needed to be some sort of romantic interest for the young girl. If you ignore that, you will see what else the novel provides; thrilling action sequences, great detail into the mythology of the djinns, and true potential for this to be a fairly decent series....so long as Pike gets off his ass and develops the characters a little more thoroughly. Targeted towards teens but I must disagree with that and say that I think the 10-13 year olds would get more of a kick out of it than the older teens. Anyone older would realize how demented these characters are, the younger crowd wouldn't know any better. No real swearing other than the word 'hell' popping up here and there and the violence is not detailed.
