TYF Column: What Are We Reading?

I am currently reading The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh. TRATD is the sequel and final book in The Wrath and the Dawn duology, and it’s absolutely stunning. Shahrzad and Khalid’s love brings them to the brink of war and secrets endanger everyone they care about as they fight for a future that seems impossible to reach. This retelling of The Arabian Nights immediately whisks the reader to a land of magic and storytelling. Ahdieh’s writing is lyrical and the world she has created is vivid, vast, and exciting. I’m slowly savoring this book because I don’t want it to end. Shazi’s story is perfect for a two book arc, but I can’t help wishing for more from her world.
