Book Review: The Rose and the Dagger by Renée Ahdieh

Title: The Rose and the Dagger
Author: Renée Ahdieh

For two straight books, an author has robbed me of my motivation to sleep and I laud Renée Ahdieh for that (The Wrath and the Dawn still needs a review post though). I am the kind of reader who would not trade finishing a book for sleep, sleep always comes first. But the rule apparently doesn't apply to Renée Ahdieh's books.

I love that the setting of the story is different form the mainstream setting of the books I have recently encountered. It's richly constructed, every conversation from the characters is like reading poetry in prose form. 

To be honest, it has taken a lot of my time trying to construct sentences of criticism for this book because there are just none. So if you love Middle Eastern culture, a magical adventure and a tested love story, this book is a good read along with the first book entitled The Wrath and the Dawn.

Rating: ★★★
