Not among Crawford's best,
By Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Khaled (Paperback)
This novel is an Arabian fantasy about a genie who must win the love of the loveless Zehowah, a Sultan's daughter. He tries this, that, and the other to get her to love him, to no avail. Only at the end when he's ready to sacrifice his life to a waiting mob does she crack. True, it's a fantasy, but Zehowah's absolute refusal to have any feelings for Khaled is hard to take. This was Crawford's favorite of all his books--which is also hard to take: he wrote much better ones than this.
