For She Is Wrath by Emily Varga
5.0
The Important Highlights
This book is a standalone YA Romantasy that is loosely based on the Count of Monte Cristo. This is a diverse read set in a Pakistani inspired world. We get secret identity, lovers to enemies and back to lovers, found family, and revenge.
What I Liked
One thing that I loved about this was the fact that any traveling done by the characters weren't just drawn out to add to the plot with unnecessary conflict. Too many fantasy novels have high conflict whenever the character(s) are travelling. I like that this book didn't need that. Seriously, I made so many notes in my phone about it. Sometimes people can travel without a group of bandits trying to rob them, ya know? I loved all the cultural references within the novel and the diverse worldbuilding. The magic system was also very interesting. I did listen to a part of this as an audiobook and I love the narrator.
What I Didn’t Like
You know, I really cannot think of anything off the top of my head.
In Conclusion
I originally gave this 4.5 stars but I am changing it to 5 because I couldn't think of any reason why I took off half a star lol. I loved this SO MUCH -- which I am so thankful for, considering I have multiple special editions of this book LOL. It was seriously so good. Anyways, this book was phenomenal IMO. I can't wait to see what Emily brings us next!
