A review by rebeccazh
The Ninety-Ninth Bride by Catherine F. King

short, feminist and creative retelling of scheherazade. the bit at the end where king explains her influences and thought processes really enriched this story. zahra was a lovely character and her motives really make a lot of sense. (so glad that the sultan isn't 'redeemed') the decision to make dunya into the main character (her original role is the faithful younger sister in the background) is really clever too.
