This is very fun, and I'm excited to read the second book in the series. Shahrzad is strong and conflicted, and the story does a really interesting process of unfolding.

bitteralbatross's review against another edition

1.0

I actually kind of enjoyed this book, but refuse to give it more stars because they fall in love after he rapes her.

Also withholding affection to maintain the purity of the person you supposedly love is not cute or romantic, it's creepy and controlling - they get to make their own decisions about their bodies and purity.

Teilweise muss ich gestehen, dass ich die Prämisse etwas sehr verückt und verstörend. Dennoch waren die Charaktere sehr interessant und ich fand es spannend mehr über sie herausfinden. Im Gegensatz zum Hauptcharakter ist es mir nicht gelungen nur ein wenig über die vielen Frauen hinwegzusehen, die ermordet wurden. Deswegen konnte ich die "Liebesgeschichte" nicht so wirklich genießen. Trotzdem will ich unbedingt wissen wie es weiter geht.
