4.5 Stars.I've personally always LOVED retellings, especially when they are DONE well.This is the retelling of the Arabian Nights tale. Beautifully thought out and detailed.

A retelling of Sherazad. I picked it up expecting something else, but it was enjoyable. Some magic, mystery and romance, it's a very solid read for a young girl. I've never read the original, but this focused much more on Sherazad's story and her life than it did on the stories she told.
Unusual but lovely. It's in an older style so modern inductees into the YA genre probably won't like it. It reminds me of books I read on long dusty car rides in Tuscon so it made me happy. All in all a win!
