Finn Kennedy, the Prince of Atlantis, is back in the third thrilling novel in the Djinn Quintet. This time he must develop a new power.

“So my role,” Finn said, gazing round the Castle of Winds, “ is to travel back in time to 1923, to the Valley of the Kings, where Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter were excavating Tutankhamen’s tomb, steal into the tomb, nab the Burial Shroud and use it as to trap Typhon?’

‘Yes,’ answered the Djinn of the Winds. ‘Are you ready?'

Review of Fire Djinn by Teen Librarian:

Set three months after the events of Sea Djinn, Fire Djinn opens with Finn Kennedy and his fellow Light Fighters Georgina and Fred enjoying a night under the stars in the deserts of Dubai.  Struck by a plea for help and a vision of destruction they are again plunged into the battle between the Djinns of the Dark and the Light for the life of the world.

Bleaker in tone than the first book; Fire Djinn is just as compelling and entertaining.  Ushering in new villains to challenge the at times reluctant heroes with a horrific plot to scorch the face of the world leaving only a chosen few survivors dedicated to serving the dark.  With the Light Fire Djinn missing and his forces scattered and broken, Finn and his friends stand alone, his allies in the sea kingdom being of limited use against the earth-bound power of the Dark Fire Djinn.

Linda Davies makes good use of the characters standing in the many shades of grey between the Light and the Dark.  I was kept guessing about the motivations and allegiances of a number of the characters up until the end.  The secondary characters are proving to be just as interesting as the primary protagonists, with a number of new faces popping up and hopefully staying around to be fleshed out more in future books.  A number of the story strands from Sea Djinn were tied up in Fire Djinn  and others were expanded and elaborated on.  There is a firm sense of continuiity from the first book and Fire Djinn felt like a firm continuation of a solid narrative.  The main characters are developing nicely and the morals within the tale are subtle and give pause for thought long after the end of the book.

An epic book that starts with a bang and burns through its pages to a satisfying conclusion and set up for further adventures!
