3.5 Stars 
 While The Wrath & the Dawn was one of my favorite ya books of last year, my feelings about The Rose & the Dagger were more mixed. I think many of my issues could have been fixed with an extra hundred pages or so. As it was, side characters felt a bit short changed and the the conflicts were resolved too easily. I liked that the plot involved more than romance, but feel Ahdieh may not have known how to go deep enough with the non romance aspects of said plot line.
