The Wrath & The Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

First line: It will not be a welcomed dawn.

I am happy to say I found one of my new favorite books with this one. Ahdieh breaks the mold when creating this thrilling, heart-wrenching tale of revenge. You just keep turning the page, and there are surprises at every turn. The characters have their way of slowing creeping into your heart, and you are just in awe of this new world that had been created in front of you. And on top of that the characters are not your typical blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. Finally, a book when people that are actually not cookie cutter, a book with characters that showcase all parts of the world. It is great!!

Now let us get down to business: At dawn the king's bride dies.  No one knows why the king is doing this, and that makes the act even more cold-hearted. But when Shahrzad's best friend, Shiva, is one of the king's latest victims, she volunteers herself to be the king's bride. Shahrzad has one desire...to see the king dead by her own two hands.

Now doesn't that just sound AWESOME!!!

Last line: One day, I will write it in the sky.

Characters

Shahrzad. She is one of the best characters to read. She is loyal to her friends and family. She is clever. She stands on her own two feet, and she let's it be know to everyone who crosses her. She is not only a skilled fighter, but a genuinely smart, and caring person. She is also stubborn, which both helps and hurts her sometimes. Shahrzad is hands down the new female heroine of the century. 

Khalid. He is called the boy king, a monster, and is one the top of Shahrzad's hit list. Khalid is quiet, cold and has a raging temper. If you cross him he will not hesitate to kill you. You should be afraid when you see him. But then at the same time, Shahrzad is able to discover a different side of him one that cares, that is loving, thoughtful and kind. That makes it even harder for her to kill him, but Shahrzad is determined not to let his kindness, cause her to waver on her path on revenge.

Plot

OMG are you going to love the plot. It easily jumping between Shahrzad and her family and friends she left behind. You sit there and see all the cards and bit your nails in hopes everything will turn out right. I finished this book in a day.

Readers Note: There is a glossary in the back of the book! I didn't realize it until the end. You don't need to use the glossary, it isn't do or die, but it is totally helpful in the first few chapters.

All in All

I pretty much said how I loved this book already. I hope you decide to read it becasue trust me you will not be disappointed. Renee Ahdieh is an amazing author, and I can't wait for her next works!! Definitely an author on the rise! Higly recommended!
