The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh

5.0

There is nothing about this book that I didn't like, I loved everything about it. I loved how there were stories within the story, they were a unique addition. I loved Shahrzad's (Shazi's) Aladdin retelling. Speaking of Shazi, I loved her and how if she was afraid she didn't show it. I loved Khalid too, and in a way felt bad for him. I really loved how the relationship between Khalid and Shazi developed, it wasn't rushed or insta-love, it took time. I loved how I could see that Shazi and Khalid really grew to love and care for each other. The romance was deep and beautiful and I really loved it. The side characters in this book are amazing too, I especially loved Jalal and how he was witty but in a charming way. At first, I was suspicious about Despina, but I really grew to like her, and I loved the friendship she and Shazi developed. One thing that I can't get over is how beautiful this book is, and I can't wait to see how the story ends.
