Published on Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads I really appreciate the fact that the author has created such a diverse book, because there aren’t enough books like this one in the young adult fantasy genre.G.P. It has an exotic Saudi Arabia-like setting and the characters are Arabian as well. The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh is a very diverse book. Each outfit, each meal and each hallway in the palace is so detailed that words can’t describe how incredibly written The Wrath and the Dawn is! To experience this amazing feeling, you will have to read this book for yourself. Her descriptions are so ravishing that the reader will be able to picture the whole story with ease. Renée Ahdieh has such a beautiful writing style. The stories that Shahrzad tells are the same as the ones in the original One Thousand and One Nights, which will give the reader a sense of familiarity, only to have it shattered with plot twists. The main character, Shahrzad, is determined to stay alive for more than one night, so she tells her captor/husband a different story each night that is incomplete. The Wrath & the Dawn is one of the best retellings I’ve ever read! It loosely follows the plot of One Thousand and One Nights, but is its own story with twists and turns that will confuse and enlighten the reader. Review: The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh ❀ A Fantastic Retelling

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Shazi is determined to uncover the reason for the murders and to break the cycle once and for all. She discovers that the murderous boy-king is not all that he seems and neither are the deaths of so many girls. she’s falling in love with the very boy who killed her dearest friend. Shazi’s wit and will, indeed, get her through to the dawn that no others have seen, but with a catch.

But she does so with a clever plan to stay alive and exact revenge on the Caliph for the murder of her best friend and countless other girls. So it is a suspicious surprise when sixteen-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to marry Khalid. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night only to have her executed at sunrise. A sumptuous and epically told love story inspired by A Thousand and One NightsĮvery dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer.
