The Storyteller's Daughter: A Retelling of the Arabian Nights by Cameron Dokey
4.0
4.5 stars
This was a beautiful retelling of The Arabian Nights. The story was compelling and well-paced. The characters were captivating and well-developed—especially for the short length of the novel. I do wish the romance between Shahrazad and Shahrayar had been explored slightly more, though I enjoyed how their character growth and relationship seemed to be depicted through the stories Shahrazad told. Overall, I really liked this novel.
