The Wrath and the Dawn
by Renée Ahdieh
It's rare that you read a book, and immediately fall in love. My fav aspects:
• Renée Ahdieh's poetic and lyrical writing style
• Original characters, especially Shahrzad. Shahrzad is now my favourite female character. I find YA female protagonists very repetitive. I thought her character was amazingly well-written, and she'll stay with me for a long time.
• The Middle Eastern themes. The Wrath and the Dawn is a retelling of a Thousand and One Nights, and I was captivated by the rich middle eastern culture. As an Asian, it's difficult to find stories that represent me, I finally found a book that I could see parts of myself and my childhood in. The little things like the food and the clothes made reading this book a wonderful and precious experience.
