I have mixed feelings about this book. Although I totally enjoyed it, I was not hooked. I don’t know if it’s because I was expecting something different, but it was just not as great as the first one. Still, I had a great time reading this and the characters were really amazing. The ending was, I ...

Spoilers possible and I'm going negative here. Audiobook- not recommendedNarration 2.5 starsBook 3.5-the elders & men's voices were so terrible. I wanted to laugh, it took me out of the story. I didn't enjoy this second book nearly as much as the first. I think the narration destroyed the serious ed...
Some good ideas here in terms of plot and storytelling, including feminist high points that should do very well with today's market, and it's great to see such a thorough depiction of the cultural setting, involving characteristic fashion, architecture, food, names etc. but the story and the charact...
This is the second book in The Wrath and the Dawn duology, and the events pick up where the first book left off. I liked this book however I don’t feel like the two books in this duology really went together or maybe just the pacing of the events through the two books was off. Looking back at my r...
2.75 - 3 starsI just couldn't connect with the story or the characters until almost 80% in. I skimmed most of the book, only buckling down towards the end. I think the big gap between reading this and reading the first book didn't help - I couldn't remember much in terms of the plot. This time ar...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: this is a cheesy, purple-prose-ridden, slightly annoying, but inexplicably enjoyable finish to a two-novel series. Despite myself. The writing in this series has driven me batty from day one. The anachronisms, the f...
Besides the fact that I am glad that The Wrath and the Dawn is a consistent story that actually needed a sequel, I’m also glad that Renée Ahdieh jumped straight into this novel, going straight for buildup and magic! Really appreciated that!I remember my only problem with The Wrath and the Dawn was t...
While I didn't enjoy this AS much as book one I still liked it a lot. My favorite characters are apart for quite some time in this book, which is why I think I liked the first one more. I'm super glad this one is only a duology because it closed really really well. Shazard is back and this time he...

A guest, in a prison of sand and sun. My family is here. And I do not know whom I can trust.In a land on the...
