The Wrath and the Dawn

Actual rating: 4.25

Normally I would bump a rating of 4.25 down to 4, but, ah, screw it.

Because this book was really, really good. I went into this expecting a fiery, sexy romance in a brilliant retelling, and do you know what I got?

A fiery, sexy romance in a brilliant retelling.

Just the setting alone is awe-worthy, and the characters are each unique and leave a lasting impression. Will I mourn the death of [insert the name of that one guy here]? Yes, definitely.

The romance was on point, as people say. I was playing Off to the Races by Lana Del Rey shamelessly, because it was oh so good. You could say there was a “love triangle”, but honey, let's be honest- it was only ever Khalid. Even in the first 10 pages, it was always Khalid.

I would say more, but it's getting late, and I really have to study. Anyways, you should totally read it because

1) It's a retelling, and who doesn't love a retelling?

2) The romance is SOOOO good (how many times am I going to have to say this?)

3) Shazi is such a great heroine. One of my favorites.

So yeah, get on that folks. Because this book is one heck of a joyride.
