The first time I saw this book I felt put down by it's cover, but I kept on hearing only good things about it, so I gave it a shot. The saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" does apply literary here. 
 The Wrath & The Dawn is a beautiful romantic story that take it roots from A Thousand and One Nights. 
 One Life to One Dawn"" 
 The story tell us about Khalid, the murderous Caliph of Khorasan, who each night takes a new bride only to hung her at the dawn. When Shahrzad dearest friend becomes a Caliph's victim, she vows to take revenge and volunteers as his next bride, unwit and kill Khalid. Shahrzad escapes death every dawn by telling the Caliph a story and promising to reveal the end of it only the next evening. 
 Night after night, tale after tale Shahrzad gets to know more about Khalid, and she will see under the monster's mask and start to fall in love with him, she will have to fight her guilt, royale betrayals and a curse. 
 I've been craving a love that feels so genuine, not the most seen unrealistic insta-love, they fell in love little by little, overcoming their fear and apprehensions. Even though there are many elements of fantasy and action, it's mostly a romance. 
 The characters are unique and they all had a magnetic attraction for me. Our two main characters, Shahrazad and Khalid, have spontaneous interactions and smart and addictive dialogue. She is a strong lead female character, independent, smart, she knows how to fire an arrow and she stand for her ideals. I always look for a bit of famminison in books and I find in Shahrazad a good example of a strong woman. 
 But the fantastic characters are not the only beautiful thing about this book,It's beautifully written and poetic in his atmosphere, the place's description are detailed and magical. 
 I would highly recommend this book, I enjoyed it a lot ! 
 The Wrath and the Dawn is a duology, the second and final book in the series got published this year and it's The Rose and the Dagger.
