There's only one rule: Aladdin can have everything in the hidden cave except a mysterious lamp.
How to win a Princess:
1. Bring her father unspeakable amounts of wealth to enter a month-long competition.
2. Defeat all other suitors in hand-to-hand combat with your honor intact (and balls - heirs needed).
3. Be revered by every citizen in the kingdom for being a 'hero' amongst men. (Also known as a jackass).
4. Wear the pretty Princess on your arm while occupying her kingdom and claiming a right to the throne she isn't allowed to sit on alone.
Aladdin doesn't care about princesses, or much else for that matter. The one thing he does care about? Gold. And when he crosses paths with a traitor of the kingdom, he has a chance to get his hands on more than he ever could have dreamed of. There's only one rule: he can have everything in the hidden cave except a mysterious lamp. But Aladdin doesn't do rules. Just like he doesn't do princesses. Although...he's starting to change his mind on the latter.

Not my favorite, not my least favorite.
Still not sure how this is going to pan out but this first book was really hard for me to get through. I was about 60% of the way through before I felt like it picked up enough to hold my attention.
I will probably read the next 2 in the series just to see what happens, because the last 20% of the book started to be more interesting. The inner monologue and introductions to all 4 main characters was not the most riveting content, but I am interested to see where this goes.
