I loved this book it was the best take on a thousand and one nights tales that I have ever read I loved everything about it. I really loved all of the characters especially Shazi and Khalid they had great chemistry from the start the romance was neither too slow or too fast I really liked how they are together looking forward to reading more of their story. I loved Shazi for tenacious wit and her determination to get to the why of Shiva's death and I liked that it took her a good while to warm up to Khalid and to fall for him at first she hated him and herself for allowing herself to fall for her best friend's killer I liked where it went from there. I loved the plot it started with Shazi marrying the caliph Khalid to avenge her best friend she learns why and along the way she falls for him many things happen and I am looking forward to reading the next book soon.
