The saga that began with The Wrath and the Dawn takes its final turn as Shahrzad risks everything to find her way back to her one true love again. But to do it, she must evade enemies of her own to stay alive. I thought it wasn’t going to make me feel as much as in The Wrath and the Dawn but as always, Rene Ahdieh’s amazing writings strikes again. Using the burgeoning magic within her as a guide, she strikes out on her own to end both this terrible curse and the brewing war once and for all. My rating: 5 out of 5 Review: In whole: This book in general surprised me a lot. Trapped between loyalties to those she loves, the only thing Shazi can do is act. Now she’s reunited with her family, who have found refuge in the desert, where a deadly force is gathering against Khalid-a force set on destroying his empire and commanded by Shazi’s spurned childhood sweetheart. Still, a curse threatens to keep Shazi and Khalid apart forever. The Rose and the Dagger is the second book in the fantasy duology by Renee Ahdieh. She once thought Khalid a monster-a merciless killer of wives, responsible for immeasurable heartache and pain-but as she unraveled his secrets, she found instead an extraordinary man and a love she could not deny. In a land on the brink of war, Shahrzad is forced from the arms of her beloved husband, the Caliph of Khorasan. The Rose and the Dagger is the second book in the fantasy duology by Renee Ahdieh.
