BOOK REVIEW | THE ROSE AND THE DAGGER BY RENEE AHDIEH

Title: The Rose and the Dagger
Author: Renee Ahdieh
Published: 2016
Language: English
Pages: 416
Rating: 4/5

This review contains spoilers for 'The Wrath and the Dawn', book 1 in 'The Wrath and the Dawn' duology.

"In 'The Rose and the Dagger' we follow the aftermath of what happened to the city Rey and it's ruler who'm are both vulnerable. We follow the multiple characters we first got to meet in 'The Wrath and the Dawn' such as Shazrad, Khalid and Tariq."



It took me two and a halve month to finally finish this book. This was not because I didn't enjoy the book enough, it was all through the lack of time. I do think the fact that it took me so long to read this book, made me enjoy it a little less. I couldn't invest in the story as much as I wanted to, I think that once I will re-read this duology, in a short period of time, I will like it much better.

Anyhow, I did really enjoy this story. I really liked the setting and I liked where Renee brought this story. I loved the characters in this book and the writing style is great. almost poetical. 

Although I really loved it, it didn't live up to the kick-ass start we had in the first book. Therefor I gave this book 4/5.

FRESH START


Hello!

First of all, thank you for taking your time to read this. I have been long-lacking blogging. Same excuse as always; school and internship and work, it was just a bit too much of it all. I couldn't keep up with all the work, let alone blogging beside it. Now I finally am keeping up with my work again (sort of) I want to start blogging again. 

Today I finished my first book since the 6th of October (yay) and I really want to keep reading again. I want to make time for it, as I make time for school and internship. I don't know how frequently I will post, but I will definitely try to at least post two times a week again. Pardon me if that fails.

Thank you for sticking with me! Talk to you soon. Lots of love!
