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.
