"The Rose and the Dagger" by Renée Ahdieh concludes the series in a bittersweet fashion, leaving me with a sense of sadness that the journey has ended. Every moment of the series was a joy to experience, and I found myself deeply invested in the characters and their relationships.
Khalid, with all his flaws, captured my heart with the beautiful ways he expressed his love. Shazi's fierceness and the dynamic between her and Khalid made their relationship a joy to read about.
Even characters like Tariq, whom I disliked in the previous book, grew on me by the end of the series, becoming unexpectedly likeable.
However, I found the chapter before the epilogue,particularly Khalid's death and resurrection , to be somewhat unspectacular, which was a minor disappointment.
Despite this, I eagerly anticipate exploring more of Renée Ahdieh's work in the future. While I rarely reread books, I can envision myself returning to this beautiful series time and time again.
