*3.5* Beautiful writing and an exciting look into Khalid's mind. I just wish it was longer!
“Do not fear what the setting sun may bring. Where there is a setting sun, there is also a rising one.” It's a short prequel to The Wrath and the Dawn, Way Toooo Short!! which didn't add much to it. “No girl in her right mind would volunteer to die.” It talks about the first time Khalid met shahrzad. She was so brave. Her head, high. Proud.
I agree with almost everybody who says this isn't necessary but it's just too pretty, it still managed to give me the goosies. Oh, Khalid! In truth, I'm just using this as a venue to greet the ONE and ONLY LOLA REVIEWER a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy your special day and stuff yourself with all the cakes and books you could manage. Lol. <3 <3 <3
3.5 starsShahrzad is da boss even from Khalid's POV.Definitely a cute short story. Now I'm even more excited for The Moth and the Flame. And it's free on Kindle.
Khalid's storyNothing important. Just another little extension of this beautiful story.
Eh?
“Do not fear what the setting sun may bring. Where there is a setting sun, there is also a rising one.” Me trying to write a review after reading this beautiful story. I’m in love with this world and the characters within it. I can’t even think coherently after finishing The Crown and the Arrow— I’m freaking out, it was so damn good. I had to stop everything I was doing just to finish it. I'm seeing in stars and hearts right now. In this short prequel, we read about the first meeting between Sha...
This is a prequel to The Wrath and The Dawn series, which is a retelling of the well-known A Thousand and One Nights. Beautifully written, it made me curious to read the rest of the series. There’s another pre-prequel, The Moth and The Flame, I will go to that first.
Do not fear what the setting sun may bring. Where there is a setting sun, there is also a rising one. Review to come!

“Do not fear what the setting sun may bring. Where there is a setting sun, there is also a rising one.” This is too short... D': Excluding the really short length I enjoy really much this short story. It was interesting to be inside of Khalid's head. Also this reminded me how much I love The Wrath and the Dawn. I can't say other thing more than May come fast please!! ------------------------------------------------Wait... I just saw this and I'm sure the rating will be 5 stars. I mean is Ren
I knew I wasn't going to like this.(V.O.): Why did you read it, then?I have a slight fever, my eyes are stinging like crazy and this novella is ridiculously short, I had already downloaded it and I had basically nothing better to do at the moment. I apologise to the fans.(V.O.): But you liked First Impressions, and that one was even shorter and just as useless.Marguerite and Paul are cute. Shahrzad and Khalid give me the effin' creeps. Most screwed up relationship ever.Sorry not sorry.
5 STARS! I'd needed this. “Do not fear what the setting sun may bring. Where there is a setting sun, there is also a rising one.” I'm emotional. A short revealing novella to be read after The Wrath and the Dawn. Storyline & Storytelling The Crown & the Arrow follows Khalid Ibn al-Rashid, the King of Kings, as he first meets Shahrzad the night they wed. A chapter of The Wrath and the Dawn from his POV.Her hate was a thing of glory.She was not afraid.Why isn’t she afraid?I'd been wondering at
That's it?I mean, I don't know what I expected from such a short story but this was just so utterly unnecessary. I didn't dislike it, it's free on Amazon and will take you all of 5 minutes to read so no harm done, but I'm still not sure if I would recommend this. There's nothing here that we didn't know already from The Wrath and the Dawn. The story takes place just before Khalid meets Shahrzad but told from Khalid's POV. That's pretty much it. Hopefully The Moth and the Flame will add more to t...
Two stars means "it was ok" and that's exactly what this was. It's just a very short prequel to The Wrath and the Dawn where Khalid first meets Shahrzad and can tell she hates him with a burning passion. I know it's just supposed to be a glimpse into his first impression of her, but I couldn't help thinking "is that it?"It just didn't really add anything.
5 +++ STARSDo not fear what the setting sun may bring. Where there is a setting sun, there is also a rising one.When I saw this book today, I couldn't believe my eyes.This is a short story about first meeting between Khalid and Shazi on their wedding day. One of the reason why I enjoy this story is because it was written in Khalid's POV. I can't wait to read more from this author. He would learn the truth. Tonight he would flout his own rules. Meet the girl alone. Ask her a single question. He c...
i just remembered i preordered this. i just love khalid. if you LOVED the wrath and the dawn this is worth the read plus it's only 9 pages.
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT ENOUGH. However, it was quite interesting to get a brief glimpse into Khalid's head. Now I want more.
