This book had promise. I liked the concept, however it fell flat for me. Very few things actually happened throughout the book, and when they did it felt like they were rushed. Most of this book took place with our main character sitting around being bored, missing her family, and trying to find things to occupy her time. This boredom definitely translated to my own feelings. Another thing, A Thousand Nights is a fantasy, so you expect a battle scene. What I didn't expect was that the battle scene would take place 90% of the way through, and only last ONE CHAPTER. The big fantasy battle scene lasted ONE CHAPTER. Talk about disappointment and feeling rushed. It didn't even feel like a battle, and was extremely anticlimactic. The premise was great, but the execution was definitely lacking and came across as rather rushed and boring.
