Recenzii
An exceptional story, beautifully written
A beautifully written book, The Wrath and the Dawn is a story I could not put down
Don't be surprised if the pages melt away and you find yourself racing through warm, golden sands or drinking spiced wine in cool marble courtyards. This is an intoxicating gem of a story. You will fall in love, just as I did.
Lushly imagined and powerfully characterized, it's a potent page-turner of intrigue and romance
Set against a backdrop of political intrigue and a simmering revolution, this is a carefully constructed narrative of uncertain loyalties, searing romance, and subtle magic in a harsh desert city
Dreamily romantic, deliciously angst-y, addictively thrilling
