Adijan and Her Genie
Adijan, a poor messenger girl in an Arabian Nights fantasy world, wishes she could build a world-spanning business empire. Shalimar, her wife, wishes Adijan would spend more time at home. Their landlord wishes Adijan would pay the rent. Adijan's brother-in-law wishes she would get trampled by a herd of camels so that he could marry his sister Shalimar to someone affluent and influential. And of all the wishes in the world, Adijan wishes the genie she's saddled with would grant her wishes instead of treating her with disdain. Be careful what you wish for in a world of genies, sorcerers, and flying carpets.

Adijan and her Genie is a charming and enjoyable read.
What I really appreciated about the book is how unique it is, especially in this genre. In lesfic we see many of the same dynamics rehashed but not here.
How is this book different from others?
Well, usually, we’re not plopped in a desert so the setting is completely different than usual.
The story title says “Genie” but there’s a twist on the magical element and the stereotypes we usually find.
The lead is completely imperfect yet likable.
A lot goes wrong but there’s also an element of the ridiculous and humor below the surface.
The lesbian couple is already established and unusually unique; who they are, they’re dynamic with each other.
Though this may be considered lesfic due to a lesbian lead, the story isn’t about the romantic couple. They exist but it’s more about an unlikely friendship that forms between our lead and her curmudgeon genie.
Overall, the narrative itself is completely unique, fun to follow, and the cast of characters are well done.
I will say that the book lacks a little of the finesse I’ve encountered in other fantasy-type reads. It’s hard to put my finger on but some scenes end a little too abruptly and perhaps there is less descriptive filler or character reactions that would’ve polished the rougher edges. Regardless, the story and characters really pull off the narrative. It’s still well-written, has a really sweet sentiment, and is one to read.

This is one of those sneaky books that jumps on you, like that drunkard in the neighboring table asking for a smoke in exchange of funny adventures. Ok, it seems random why that image jumped on me, but it fits.
This book is far from perfect as it direly needs editing/formatting (maybe that last one was my copy, I am going to hunt for a print), it gets so chopped that you are not sure when the scene has changed, what is happening and it jumps so briskly that it breaks the fluidity. One thing that bothered me, is that we have a character with intellectual disability that it is nicely handled and part of the plot is how people tend to dismiss or talk over them, not giving the agency and respect they should have and yet, we had to wait for a long long time for them to have a voice. That was a waste, specially when the character is so carefully drawn.
The book promises a charming and light reading (at least, that was the impression I had) and it doesn’t disappoint, it threads lightly between picaresque, endearing, sad, troubling, tragic and scary. By that, I am impressed. Sure, I would like to see some points more developed, but it isn’t a flaw not to, it would be a different book then and I wouldn’t like that.
I have to confess that I wasn’t prepared when the book got serious, when the characters’ picaresque nature started to be shaped as more complex and deeply flawed. I started to get bitchy about Adijan’s repeated bad judgements. It annoyed me big time, until I thought: what if Adijan isn’t the sharpest crayon in the box? At what point our humongous brain condemns that? Is it that we love to think that we, and thus, our heroes would do better and make the smartest choices? I guess that was on me and I was humbled. We snap at the things that have a pointy edge, that bite, that scare us when we project. Maybe we aren’t the sharpest crayon either, but it is easier to think otherwise.
After that bite of humble pie, the other despairing characteristic of Adijan, that is, her being an irresponsible drunk, also changes with perspective. This is not a funny disaster, but someone who wants to do better, but cant. It is anguishing seeing her stumble towards sobriety, at finding dignity in a scary world that denies it to the less fortunate. I just felt horror when you have scenes where flogging is a natural response to any mistake, that some rich turd can scream: that is a liar/thief (yeah, that´s all the procedure), grab them and cut their arm/tongue in the square and you are fucked then. It is not a funny disaster to see Adijan slowly recover, to recognize how booze traps people, making it harder. Either way, we never get too deep into the drama mode.
Now, Adijan bickering with Zobeide, a tragic stuck up nasty woman, it gets a bit uncomfortable as they snap and say nasty things to each other, touching lightly another set of delicate subjects: class, homophobia, sex work, sexual abuse, consent. At one point, I thought how insensitive Adijan was with Zobeide´s situation, the horror of being a sex slave forced to comply and making fun of that, but then again, Adijan´s mom was a sex worker, her aunt that cares deeply for her is head of a brothel. She grew in said brothel. Tricky stuff.
Shalimar as sunshine bliss personified is a refreshing representation of intellectual disability. Adijan´s crusade to stop people from infantilizing Shalimar, to recognize her agency and autonomy, to love Shalimar unconditionally, not despite her disability, but as her own person. That was something beautiful to read.
The ending felt so good, but abrupt. You want a bit more of Zobeide, Adijan and Shalimar, Aunt Takush and best boy (he is a man, but earns the internet label) Fakir, you care for their journey, how they grow and hopefully, I may have grown a little bit too.
Highly recommended, this road trip has everything. Nipple bells, booze, flying carpets, sexy oranges, lesbians and bad decisions.

Adijan gets back from a business trip to find that her asshole brother-in-law has taken her wife Shalimar back to his house, and he plans to force them to get divorced. Adijan loves Shalimar more than anything, but a poor courier who was raised in a brothel has no chance of winning a legal battle against an influential man like Shalimar’s brother. Her only hope lies in the magical locket that has somehow wound up in her possession … except the being trapped inside it isn’t a traditional genie. The only wish she can grant is “give me the best sex of my life”, and she hates doing that, and hates everyone who’s ever demanded it of her. Adijan doesn’t like her much, but you can’t just leave someone as a sex slave, so they set off on a quest to free the genie and get Adijan’s wife back.
I think my favourite part of this is that Adijan fits a character trope that we see all the time, but pretty much never in women. She’s an eternal fuckup, with big dreams but a low-paying job she struggles to keep, she drinks too much and pisses everyone off, but deep down she has a good heart and loves her wife more than anything in the world. Kind of like if Homer Simpson were a cute Middle Eastern lesbian.

It was really good and had incredible character development, but it does have some sexual violence that needs to be addressed. It is not bad to have sexual violence in a book, but as a surivor I am disturbed by the trend of showing the sexual violence and not showing how to heal from it or how it impacts your mental health. Still good though.

2,5/5
In which Adijan, accompanied by a frowning genie, goes on an almost desperate quest in hope of saving her wife from a forced marriage. Turn out, the quest isn’t that desperate in the end. And Adijan’s magical pal stops frowning along the way, which is beautiful, I tell you, beautiful.
Rather than romance, this book is more focused on Adijan’s growth and her unwilling friend’s learning new cool street stuffs. And those awkward bonding moments, too. I look fondly on this book for this very reason. Two characters, for different purposes, have to work together and learn from each other on the way to their destination. I know it is not special, but believe me, rarely can you see a story achieve this plotline satisfyingly. This book touchs that spot well and it warms my heart.
Leaving that lovely dynamic aside, there are other pros I would like to mention. The gay acceptance is a nice detail, I’m tired of those kind of angst. Shalimar and Adijan’s cliché conflict is done away with gratefully quick and neat. The world-building is finery,too.
And finally, a novel from L.J Baker that does resolve the protagonist’s mental issue. It is not handled as satisfiable as I would like it to be (then again it may just be me wanting more flashy angst), but it is acknowledged and overcome nonetheless. How Adijan turns from hating to appreciating other supportive characters is a pleasant surprise, which deepened the world’s reality and her personality. Her genie pal is a very well-built character, L.J Baker create a sweet heart under the harsh disdainful outline (with what she is put through, who wouldn’t be so?). Personally, I just love this character in all way, her growth is just as interesting, and dare I say even more, as Adijan’s.
Cutting off my craze over the genie, because it will never end if I don’t refrain, here are some cons that prevented the book from being truly good.
The story and the result of Adijan’s quest is pretty predictable. Some scene transitions are very sudden and causes mild confusions now and then. The book also drags out in places, there are some pages and some conversations I think can be cut down. The final show-down relies a lot on Last grain of sand, genie gives Adijan a lot of responsibility at the end of the book, which I’m skeptical about because we haven’t seen Adijan shows any skill in that field.
In conclusion, this book shines in characters’ relationship and mediocre in everything else. Still, to me it’s an enjoyable read.

Good-for-nothing Adijan must come to her own and traverse half the world, aided only by a genie who cannot grant wishes, to save the love of her life from forced marriage.
It’s a pretty straightforward quest story, but there are enough details that make it stand out from others of its kind. First, the Orient-inspired setting; second, the effortless representation (lesbian MC! Pan (?) love interest! Random bi sailor! — pretty awesome for a book from 2008, if you ask me); finally, the characters themselves. Both Adijan and the genie have some unexpected personality flaws that they need to challenge throughout their journey, Adijan’s beloved Shali has in some respects the mentality of a child, and Adijan’s family is somewhat unusual but also unusually supportive in all the right ways.
The ending was a bit too overdone, in my opinion, but by then I felt invested in the characters’ stakes and couldn’t really hold it against the author.
I’d like to stress my appreciation for Adijan’s growth as a character — her struggles on the journey are gruelling and well-depicted, any and all success of hers is truly hard-won. I also had no trouble believing in her love for Shali — coincidentally, just a few days ago I read another book where the MC was desperate to get back to her LI, and I must say Adijan’s plight was much more convincing.
“Adijan realized Zobeide might look like Shalimar but she didn't smell and move like her, any more than she acted like her. What made Shalimar was the person within.”
One thing that made me roll my eyes a bit was how nearly all the bad guys , but my enjoyment didn’t suffer all that much for it.
I also expected Adijan and the genie’s relationship to develop a bit differently (not into romance, just… differently), but again, I can’t complain. It was good.
All in all, it was a light, fun read. Recommend.
Warnings for homophobia (1 homophobic character, challenged by the narrative) and past sexual abuse (no descriptions, no ptsd/trauma, only vague references).

I love queer fairytale retellings! Although I do not think this is much of a fairytale. It’s set in the Arabian Nights fantasy world and has a few elements of the folktale Aladdin, in the sense that there is a poor messenger who’s however a girl and there is a genie, who’s not really a genie.
Adijan is a messenger girl, who dreams of having her own business and is a bit too fond of drinking despite being really hard-working. She’s married to Shalimar, a very kind woman who is always happy and yet always thought of as simple, much to Adijan’s annoyance. It is evident that Adijan loves Shalimar, but she is also slave to vices and wasn’t such a good spouse. This book, full of adventure and Adijan being kicked out from countless places, follows the journey of Adijan to try and get back Shalimar from where she is being kept by her brother Hadim.
While set in an invented Arabian country, Adijan and Shalimar’s relationship is accepted and legitimate. The problem lies in wealth not in their orientation and love. Something that really bothered me was that Adijan was continuously misgendered and most times she did not correct these assumptions where from her gender expression and clothing her gender was judged.
Adijan and the ‘genie’, don’t really get on at first. However, I thought it was great that even though they did not like each other, they were respectful, using correct names, considerately describing time and place and consoling one another. They eventually come to understand and care for one another. Nonetheless, you also see two people battling their wills against each other because they both have big and fundamental dreams.
Injustices to the social system, especially in courts and wealth are addressed. It’s a book that says a lot about non-materialistic values. For someone that was looking to get rich, Adijan got that freedom and love were priceless. Privilege was understood as it was lost. For being a fun book, it also has serious themes.
I really enjoyed the characters of Zobeidé once she stopped getting on my nerves, and of Adijan’s aunt Takush who owns a ‘friendly house’ and her suitor Fakir. A bonus in this book were the insults which often contain some form of ‘camel’ to them.
I liked how Zobeidé did not forgive simply because her old tutor apologized and said he was set up to do what he did. Stripping freedom from someone is inexcusable.
This book ended on a great note. Something that was lost, even if in a land of magic, was still not magically made better and in that it was realistic. To end, you find yourself being angry at Adijan, then pitying her and then laughing at something. This book is a fast read and a true adventure.

This was a great book, it was SIMPLY GREAT, this one really beats her other book Lady Knight. This one was mostly drama and suspense, with some adventure. Very little action and no "romance" scene. Nevertheless, it was a great story. The flaw that I would have is that it didn't really described the characters, like how they look like or their age, except for one. I liked that it focused in the story a lot, but it was too much, like I said about not describing the characters.
Overall: Great book with a great ending, I really recommend it if you like this kind of things and I hope to see more stories like this one from her. I also hope that she adds some "steamy" scenes, that would make it much better for me.

A cute, fun read. I like that Adijan actually had to work through her problems and addictions and that they weren't just brushed aside, and I liked that we actually saw her grow. I was a bit worried about how Shalimar's MI would be treated, but I was really glad to see most people, including Adijan and the narrative, shut down the logic that said that she was 'childlike' and needed to be treated like one. And there were some good bits about agency and consent, and the romance was cute.
Not the greatest book ever, but still really fun.

A very sweet formulaic plot with the twist of Alladin being a woman and having to complete a quest to save her marriage to her beautiful wife and become a better person. Obviously this is a fantasy story, and plays to this genre's tropes, but what improves this story to make it a 4 star read is the quality of the writing.
The world creation, character drawing and dialogue make this a superior read.

An enjoyable Arabian-Nights style adventure with a lesbian protagonist. I liked the idea, the way that Baker deals with the protagonist's alcoholism and that the love interest is differently abled. The plot does get redundant, particularly toward the end, but overall, this is a fun read.

I'm pretty sure I read this book all in one sitting. It was really interesting and I didn't want to put it down until I was at the end of Adijan's journey.
I didn't expect the love interest to be who it was, but the ending made me love it. Definitely a good read.

2.5 Stars.
I desperately wanted this to be better than it was (I am tired of the relentless heterosexuality of most books I read). Unfortunately it was an interesting idea with a mediocre execution.

This is a surprisingly touching story with an unusual love interest.
