The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh
3.0
This book wasn't what I was expecting. I know I'm a bit late in reading it (in terms of how long ago it was trending on booktok), but I thought that I would still really like it.
I didn't really mind tht the enemies to lovers wasn't slowburn, but I didn't enjoy the fact that even though Shahrzad was totally in love with Khalid, she still said "No, I have to get revenge" every two seconds. Like, it was a constant circle of "I love him, but like, I don't want to love him. But I'm still happy that I love him" and "I don't love him, I can't love him". Like, she never really accepted the fact until like the last 50 pages.
I don't know, but I was expecting it to be different, maybe because all of the hype. I didn't completely dislike it, though. I mean, there were some really cute scenes between Khalid and Shahrzad. And the sort of found family trope was really nice.
3.5/5.
