For She is Wrath by Emily Varga
4.0
Thank you to Goodreads + Wednesday Books for the giveaway win! I felt so lucky since I loved this book. Throw in some Pakistani women, magic, and non-stop adventure and you got yourself everything you could ask for in a fantasy retelling of the classic "The Count of Monte Cristo".
This is YA so there wasn't a lot of spice but PLEASE don't let that deter you from reading it. The banter and tension was sublime, and it's rare you get to read a lovers-to-enemies story while rooting for them to get back together all the while hating on the enemy.
I gave this a 4-star because some parts of the story felt like it needed more, but since this was a different take on a 1,000+ page classic, I think it did just fine!
