A Thousand Nights

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is quite different than the rest of those fantasy re-tellings or those historical fictions that try to cheat their way into readers' hands by promising a different experience when it never changed. This, however, is different. It is beautiful and gorgeous and makes one wonder what it would have been like, being the wife of Lo-Melkhin for a night (or more). I only wish that our main heroine had more character development. It seemed to be that she was this static character that didn't change much, ambition wise. However, this is not that important because the storytelling was that good. I can only hope for more books like this. This is true literature and it was quite a joy to read. Also, the blurb that is given with this book lies a bit. She doesn't really fall in love with the monster at all. Doesn't even come close to it.
