The Storyteller's Daughter: A Retelling of the Arabian Nights by Cameron Dokey

3.0

This book was just okay. I had recently read The 1,001 Arabian Nights, and I've read other retellings, of varying degrees of intrigue. This was somewhere in the middle. It was certainly brief, and was a little inconsistent in terms of pacing, but the story mostly made it from point A to point B.

My main gripe with this book was the language-the voice was wildly inconsistent and absolutely drove me crazy with bizarre turns of phrase. I certainly won't be reading this book again, but as "fairytale" retellings go, this one was passable and I don't regret reading it.

I recommend to fans of "fairytale" retellings that are looking for a light read. This is a light, younger-targeted read, but still diverting enough.
