A sweeping retelling of the story of Scheherazade. I liked the characters and the scale of the story. Occasionally I found the prose a little clunky or overblown, but in general this was a fast paced, exciting read.
A sumptuous and epically told love story inspired by A Thousand and One Nights Every dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night only to have her executed at sunrise. So it is a suspicious surp...
The Wrath and the Dawn is a retelling of One Thousand and One Nights. Khalid, the Caliph (or king) marries a new bride each night and then has her put to death each dawn. One of these unfortunate brides is Shahrzad’s friend and so she volunteers herself as a bride with the intention of killing the c...
This book is like all of my guiltiest pleasures in one book. Well, my adoration of the story of A Thousand Nights isn't guilty, but man if I wasn't feeling like a swooning fool by the last several chapters of a book, my pants are ablaze with the fire of a billion lies. The adaptation of the stories ...
There are things about this book that should really bother me, but there is something that is utterly compelling about this book. And I couldn’t keep it down. Likewise, there was something about this ship. I shouldn’t have liked it. It is the antithesis of what I like in ships. But it’s a bon...

It was impossible not to fall in love with all the characters, especially the “monster” boy-king Khalid....
The King of Kings, marries and murders his wives at dawn. A vengevful beauty with a silver tongue and an agenda. And a twisted tale with a curse, a love triangle for the ages and redemption of a soul. This book was amazing. I love the eastern flair and enjoyed the stories within the stories. I ca...
3.5 - 4.5 stars - I don't KNOW!This book! First it was MEH - Shahrzad's stories just didn't hold my attention, and if I had been Khalid, they wouldn't have saved her from her terrible fate at dawn. But then after the scene at the souk, and I couldn't put it down. There's action and mystery and eve...

Even though I haven't actually read the story that inspired it, A Thousand and One Nights, I'm familiar with the tale, so I was...
