Not disatisfying, just so unoriginal for such a unique fantasy world. I was going to rate it 4 stars but I'm settling for 3.75 because I wasn't expecting the trilogy to conclude where it did with a big villain and a threat to the world. Like the previous two books, I enjoyed this one. It tells the backstory to the third fascinating character in these books, a djinn called Sidra with an anger problem, and the reasoning why the three women keep being thrown together. The Conjurer is the final book in The Vine Witch trilogy and is full of action and magic with some surprise Romeo and Juliet vibes. But is it enough for Sidra to protect herself and those she loves from powers yet to be released? It’s as beguiling a lure as it is a formidable shield.
Relying on a sisterhood of magic, a mysteriously faithful dog, and a second-rate sorcerer, Sidra defends herself using the village’s greatest asset: its perfume. When he learns of an ancient relic capable of unleashing chaos on the world, and that the weapon is in the hands of his murderous sister-in-law, he vows to destroy Sidra to get it. He also seeks vengeance for the indignities inflicted on jinn by mortals over the centuries. On her trail is Jamra, another jinni, who’s after more than revenge for the murder of his brother. Here is where Sidra’s true destiny awaits, but danger also lurks in the village’s narrow lanes. Determined to prove her innocence, she returns to her adopted home - a French village renowned for its perfume witches - with her friends Elena and Yvette by her side. Yet even a jinni can’t wish away a wrongful imprisonment.
A beguiling novel of revenge, deliverance, and a powerful sisterhood of magic by the Washington Post bestselling author of The Vine Witch and The Glamourist.
