Three Thousand Years of Longing

CriticsCritics: 66
AudienceAudience: 6.9

A solitary scholar visiting Istanbul discovers an ancient bottle and releases a djinn who offers three wishes. Unsure what to ask for, she listens as he recounts extraordinary stories from his long existence, filled with passion, loss, power, and longing.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like unusual, visually rich fantasy romances built around storytelling and mythology; Not for you if you prefer straightforward plots, fast action, or tightly paced narratives.
