Honestly coming back into the world of Carver City and all its politics and illegal doings was amazing as Desperate Measures is a great start to the series.Īs Jafar takes Jasmine back to his penthouse we learn of the other man she was supposed to be sold to, Ali. Jafar does give her a chance to escape and she fails but throughout all of this and their first sexual encounter we know that Jasmine has a safe word she can use to make Jafar stop and she doesn’t use it as she wants this just as much as Jafar does but she is also aware that she has traded one prison for another. That night Jafar comes into her room and she begs him to save her only to learn that he has taken her father’s position and everything that belonged to her father now belongs to him including her. We are introduced to Jasmine as she learns she has essentially been sold by her father to ensure his power and he strikes her for her comments. Desperate Measures is an Aladdin retelling following the relationship between Jasmine and Jafar. I have read the first four books in this series previously but I have decided to re-read them before reading the final two books and the collection of short stories.
