5 stars (I would give this book a billion stars if Goodreads would let me)

HOLY CAT! I love the world and characters that Renee Ahdieh created. I found myself rereading paragraphs, as the writing was captivating, sensual and evocative. I didn't want the story to end and I need the second book now.

I remember clearly hearing the Arabian Nights story as a little girl, so I was beyond excited to start this. The biggest positive point of this story in my opinion was the world building and how the author took care to detail the little things. The only negative side for me was the love trian ...more
