Every dawn brings horror to a different family in a land ruled by a killer. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, takes a new bride each night only to have her executed at sunrise. So it is a suspicious surprise when sixteen-year-old Shahrzad volunteers to marry Khalid. But she does so with a clever plan to stay alive and exact revenge on the Caliph for the murder of her best friend and countless other girls. Shazi’s wit and will, indeed, get her through to the dawn that no others have seen, but with a catch . . . she’s falling in love with the very boy who killed her dearest friend.

She discovers that the murderous boy-king is not all that he seems and neither are the deaths of so many girls. Shazi is determined to uncover the reason for the murders and to break the cycle once and for all.

„Hey, check out how many obscure words I know!! Who cares if people don‘t use them, at least I can show off what I know!“ Something like this was running through my mind while I was reading The Wrath & The Dawn. My first language isn‘t English but I read a lot so my knowledge of the language is just fine. There are many words I didn‘t know and it absolutely hindered my enjoyment of the book. What‘s the point of writing when people can‘t understand what you‘re saying? I‘m aware this book is beloved by many but I honestly don‘t see why. It was overly wordy and too detailed in many cases so that it slowed its momentum. And not in a good way. I enjoy a good character study as much as the next person but this wasn‘t it. One of Stephen King‘s writing tips comes to mind: cut your first draft by about 10% in the second draft. I feel like this is advice that would have helped Ahdieh‘s writing tremendously. And let‘s not forget the appearance of insta love in this one. I was pretty much out the door when Sharzhad felt the first fluttering in her stomach in the first few days after meeting Khalid. No thank you.
