POV: MULTIPLE POV, THIRD PERSON, PAST TENSE CHARACTERS: 4/5 (Couldn’t relate to any characters but I enjoyed them. IMO, MCs were too young for the plot) ROMANCE: 4.75/5 (My guilty pleasures in romance books) PLOT: 4/5 (My explanation was down below) WRITING STYLE: 4.5/5 (The writing works for me. I ...
"And they held each other in stillness until a silver dawn broke the horizon." It's hard to believe The Wrath and the Dawn is a debut novel. It's so damn well written. So many quotable moments between the characters. And going in, I knew nothing about A Thousand and One Nights so I have nothing to ...
WOW JUST WOW !!! At first I was finding this book to be hard to follow and understand but honestly i got about 50 pages in and i couldn't put the book down. most people know but for those who don't this book is a retelling of A Thousand and One Nights and honestly I had never even read that so ...
One Life to One Dawn.In a land ruled by a murderous boy-king, each dawn brings heartache to a new family. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, is a monster.

In this retelling of 1001 Nights, Kahlid takes a new wife every night and kills her at dawn. When Shazi's best friend is picked and killed, she volunteers to be a bride and goes in with a plan to kill the Kahlid. Things don't quite go to plan and that's the story we follow. (I finished this book a...
Beautiful imagery, intriguing characters, and a well-paced romance. I was battling between 2-3 stars due to some issues I had with the novel, but as I got deeper in the novel my thoughts changed. The romance between Shahrzad and Khalid was well developed and it was a delight to read about their inte...
Very good, simple, engaging and fast-paced. A few inconstancies or eyebrow-raising facts (like sea-drenched sleeves drying a cup, or sunlight drowning Shazi's senses in a night venture, or caliphs allowing their wives sword lessons, or a Greek slave speaking about a "dram" of appreciation) and not m...
This book did not cause me near as much pain as I feared. Mainly because it skipped the usual things that frustrate me an cause me stress in love stories about star-crossed, shouldn't be lovers....the pages and pages of plot device misunderstandings and tragic near misses that keep them apart and...
Spoiler Rating: High Dearest Lizzy, I read The Wrath and the Dawn with hopes for great things. The current state of those hopes: a congealed mess of frustration, rage, and plaintive calls of whyyyyy. As I write this, only 2% of the people who've reviewed the book on Goodreads have as low an op...
The writing in this book is simply gorgeous. Lyrical, divine sentences. Rich descriptions that somehow never feel like they're slowing down the pace. Also, an important warning: this is not stand alone. Shahrzad is a fascinating heroine. She's out for revenge, but she's willing to bide her tim...
