Obviously I'm biased . . . BUT THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE ;-)
Hm. People are loving this much-hyped book, but I have rather mixed feelings about this one. Things I liked:-- awesome premise, obviously-- a world very different from what we're used to-- a few intriguing conversations between women (Shazi and Despina, Shazi and Yasmine)-- diversity, yay-- a few nice action scenes towards the end-- the romance, which eventually sparked and got me very invested in what's going to happen next!Things I wanted more of:-- Magic (perhaps this will come in the next bo...
“Make sure they never forget. You are the Calipha of Khorasan, and you have the ear of a king.” She bent forward and lowered her voice. “And, most important, you are a fearsome thing to behold in your own right.” My original plan was to finish this book tonight and then write up a review tomorrow, but after that ending, I just can't stop thinking about it and I need to get my thoughts down right now. In short: I enjoyed this book very much. Way more than I expected to, to tell the truth. And
1.5 stars "How can I desire him? After he killed Shiva. After he killed so many young girls, without explanation. What's wrong with me?" A three-sentence summary of The Wrath and the Dawn:Shahrzad: I will kill Caliph Khalid to avenge my best friend!Khalid: *eye smoulder*Shahrzad: Lol, nah. That is literally what happens. I'm not joking. The Wrath and the Dawn is a retelling of the classical One Thousand and One Nights tale. Every day, the Caliph of Khorasan marries a new bride and by dawn, he
SoooOOOoo GoooOOOOdd
I loved it beyond words.I'm in awe. This beautiful journey, this journey of longing, magic and love sang to my soul, gave me wings, spilled vibrant colours in a bleak routine and made my heart burst.Renee Ahdieh is a rare storyteller. “One hundred lives for the one you took. One life to one dawn. Should you fail but a single morn, I shall take from you your dreams. I shall take from you your city.And I shall take from you these lives, a thousandfold.” The Caliph of Khorasan, the King
Actual rating: 1.5Do you ever just hear about a book and know without a shadow of a doubt that you will love it? That’s how I always felt about this book. I had seen rave review after rave review. Everyone I know LOVES it. So I always just knew that I would love it too. I was wrong. This book was painful to get through. From the forced writing style to the lackluster plot and flat characters. To say I am disappointed with this book is an understantment. I know a lot of people praise the writing
SPOILER FREE REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA4zN...Reread: April 2016STILL AMAZING can't wait to read the next one! First reading: June 2015Holy crap. What a fantastically captivating tale.
<3 <3 <3This. Book.How dare it end where it did.
The Wrath and the Dawn is every recently amazing YA book thrown into one read. Red Queen meets An Ember in the Ashes meets A Court of Thorns and Roses . The main difference it has between those books is the amount of action. The Wrath definitely set aside action packed scenes for a slower more lyrical literature depth.Sharhrzad (Shazi) is out to seek revenge for the murder of her best friend and decides too volunteer to be the next wife of the Caliph of Khorasan. The Caliph is known for b...
FIRST READ: June 2015REREAD: May 2016Still obsessed with this <3----------------------THIS HAS OVERTAKEN EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING AS MY NUMBER 1 SPOT OF MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF THE YEAR. I CAN'T EVEN. EFKHSBFKHSBDFKAHDBFKSDHABFKAHSDBFKASJBKAHBGKAFHBKV SO MANY ALADDIN FEELS
I. AM. SHOOK.retellings are slowing making their way into my favourite genre because this was pure magic. this felt captivatingly fresh and delightfully original. it was such a clever story of love and passion, but intertwined with nuances of folklore legend and mystery. it was almost too good to be true because i could not put this down. i felt like i accidentally blinked and was already on the last page - i would take one thousand and one nights of this story. thank goodness there is a second
Ohh, i am going to get so much hate for this! I am perfectly aware that I am in the minority here. Most of my friends adore The Wrath and the Dawn, all of my teachers (yes, I share my books with my teacher. I'm that kid) even my grandma's sister has read it AND raves about it. I honestly do not understand why, i'm afraid to ask her so i'm asking you guys. Help me please, and try not to hate me. I'm don't even know how to rate this. I don't want to give it 2 stars, because 2 stars is Queen of Sha...
This would be funny if it weren't so bad. The Wrath and the Dawn sells itself as a diverse, feminist retelling of Arabian Nights, and you know I'm practically married to feminist novels. Spoiler alert: this was not feminist. Or diverse. Or even a good retelling of Arabian Nights. Shahrzad (I'm going to call her Shazi from now on, because I can't spell) has one desire--she wants revenge on her best friend's murderer. Unfortunately, this killer happens to be a caliph who is rather fond of killing
