Wishes and Loopholes

Djinn Law, Book 1

De: M. A. Andrach

Narrado por: Michael Langan

You get three wishes. Better make them count.

If a Djinn granted you three wishes, what would you ask for? Riches? Immortality? World peace? More wishes? Really? Wrong. You’d overthink it, try to be clever–and end up legally bound to turn into a goat. Djinn are ancient, cunning, and terrifyingly literal. That’s why we invented Djinn Law: an entire legal field built to navigate wish contracts and keep the world (mostly) intact.

Enter Elias Trenholm, a junior solicitor stuck at the bottom of the hierarchy at Albright & Rune, a firm specialising in Djinn contract law. When a rare high-profile case finally lands in his lap, one honest mistake activates an ancient clause–and silences the world’s legal system. All lawyers lose their ability to practise. Except Elias. Now the only lawyer left, Elias must navigate ancient contracts, cursed pursuers, and family fallout with only a sharp colleague, a morally ambiguous Djinn guide, and his own unravelling past to help him. Clearing his name–and fixing the world–might mean facing the possibility that none of this was ever an accident.

Wishes and Loopholes is a genre-blending debut, perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovich's Rivers of London, P. Djèlí Clark's A Master of Djinn and Richard Swan's The Justice of Kings. Fast paced, original, and funny where it counts and serious when it matters. A contemporary fantasy packed with high-stakes trials, clever contracts, and the dangerous beauty of Djinn lore.

Outstanding adventure - chaos vs order

Djinn in modern times are no longer a myth or legend, but are real and likely to engage in mischief. Lawyers like Elias Trenholm and his colleagues specialize in writing airtight contracts that ensure the wishes are granted exactly the way the mortal requests without trickery from the Djinn. But when all lawyers except Elias lose their ability to practice law, it’s up to him to break this curse and restore order. Along the way, Elias learns some disturbing information that may ultimately explain his family history. Clearly and thankfully, this is only the first in the Djinn Law series and I cannot wait to read/listen to the next book! The narration by Michael Langan is outstanding. His performance of each unique character brings them and the story to life.

Adventure

Wishes and Loopholes by M.A. Andrach is a great adventure fantasy. Michael Langan did a great job with the narration. The story is engaging, interesting, funny, humorous, witty, entertaining, and more. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.highly recommended
