The Wrath and the Dawn

Loved this! The writing was so alive and descriptive that I felt like I was actually there. I could see everything so clearly in my mind, I could smell the food at the feast, I could almost hear the characters. The whole story felt really, just, alive.

Okay, yeah, there's kind of a little insta-romance here, but I didn't mind it??? I've read much worse instalove than this! And Shahrzad was a brilliant main character and it felt very justified when you read her thoughts about it all. I'd love to hang out with her for one day. I think that'd be awesome.

(PS: am I the only one who kept imagining Shahrzad as a black-haired Daenerys Targaryen? I just couldn't get rid of that image!)

(PPS: the narrator of the audible audiobook did an AMAZING job, you have to listen to it)
