Welcome to the land of magic, love, power, fantasy
and the mysterious land in the journey named ‘Neverfound Land’. This book is
the s sequel to ‘Once Upon A Genie’ authored by Durriya Kapasi, which takes the
story forward of Daisy, Khalil, Darren and Solomon.
While the first book is about the unfulfilled love
story of Daisy and Khalil, Neverfound land is Solomon’s journey to becoming
what he is destined to be. Solomon, lovechild of Daisy and Khalil (a human and
a genie) is a hybrid. This book is Solomon’s story and how this half-human
& half-genie explores his powers to attain his true calling. His evolution
is depicted throughout from an ordinary teenager to someone who brings together
people of two worlds to fight the evil. Basically, the story is all about the
good winning over the evil.
Though the book manages to keep the readers intrigued,
the pace gets slower as we near the end. It is gripping in the beginning but
tends to stretch a little towards the end.
The plot is interesting, and description is enticing,
it compels the readers to visualise every scene. The cover of the book is beautifully designed. Of
the two books, I would prefer the first book with reference to the relevance
and pace of the story.
My ratings: 3 out of 5.
