La moglie del califfo
La moglie del califfo | Renée Ahdieh
Al calar del sole sul regno di Khalid, spietato califfo diciottenne del Khorasan, la morte fa visita a una famiglia della zona. Ogni notte, infatti, il giovane tiranno si unisce in matrimonio con una ragazza del luogo e poi la fa uccidere dopo aver consumato le nozze, prima che arrivi il nuovo giorno. Ecco perché tutti restano sorpresi quando la sedicenne Shahrzad si offre volontaria per andare in sposa a Khalid. In realtà, ha un astuto piano per spezzare quest’angosciosa catena di terrore, restando in vita e vendicando la morte della sua migliore amica e di tante altre fanciulle sacrificate ai capricci del califfo. La sua intelligenza e forza di volontà la porteranno a superare la notte, ma pian piano anche lei cadrà in trappola: finirà per innamorarsi proprio di Khalid, che in realtà è molto diverso da come appare ai suoi sudditi. E Shahrzad scoprirà anche che la tragica sorte delle ragazze non è stata voluta dal principe. Per lei ora è fondamentale svelare la vera ragione del loro assurdo sacrificio per interrompere una volta per tutte questo ciclo che sembra inarrestabile. Un manifesto di libertà che ha fatto il giro del mondo «Una storia seducente e con personaggi straordinari, un romanzo che non si può smettere di leggere, ricco di segreti e romanticismo.» Publishers Weekly «Ambientato in un contesto fatto di intrighi politici e una rivoluzione serpeggiante, questo romanzo ben costruito parla di patti traditi, violente passioni, sottili magie in un’arida città del deserto.» Booklist «Romantico e sognante, avvincente e pieno di suspense.» Kirkus Reviews Renée AhdiehVive a Charlotte, in North Carolina, con il marito e il loro cane. La moglie del califfo è il suo romanzo di debutto, e presto uscirà negli Stati Uniti il seguito, The Rose and the Dagger.

This retelling of "One Thousand and One Nights" is such an enjoyable read. I loved the different aspects the author added to the story and I love how much culture was explored in the stories. It came across not only through the words and dialect, but food and clothing as well. I loved how the themes of betrayal and loyalty were explored. I definitely have to read the second book.

This a review for the WEBTOON only!! The book is good, but check out the free WEBTOON!! The series is amazing and pulls from the book with some twist. I recommend it. The series is complete so you can binge it on the WEBTOON app. This is a two book series, but just one WEBTOON. There is action, romance, plot twist, and female lead. Rating 8/10 #webtoon #graphicnovel #booktowebtoon #poc #storytelling #curse #woc #book #freeread

I LOVED this book. It kept me interested throughout. The romance was fantastic and oh the heroine's outfits were so beautiful. It was perfectly paced and unpredictable. And the cliffhanger? Let's just say it's because of books like these that I don't start a series until the whole series is published. Looking forward to reading the sequel!ðŸðŸ»

This story is about Khalid, the Caliph of Khorasan, who takes a new bride each night only to have her executed at sunrise. When Shazi's friend becomes the Caliph's victim, she volunteers herself with a plan to outwit the evil ruler and exact revenge. Shazi delays her execution by weaving enchanting stories for Khalid & promising only to reveal what happens next if he'd let her live another day.
I'm hoping the book's as interesting as it sounds.ðŸ»

I love how fierce a heroine Shahrzad is throughout this story. She speaks her truth & holds her ground, but despite her stubbornness she's also open-minded enough to learn. Because of that, the romance doesn't feel forced. The tension builds nicely & doesn't feel like a classic love triangle, which was also nice. Once I put it down, I was ready for the next!

5🌟 Fantasy Reads!

I scrolled through my goodreads and these are all the fantasy books I‘ve given 5 stars. Not shown are a few magical realism books that I gave 5 stars, because to me they‘re different 🤪

Also, doing this has made me realize how bad I am at finishing series. Or even picking up the second book. Which I already knew 🙃

I‘d love to see your 5 star fantasy books @jinxmoon @Ash.on.the.line @starlight97

#20Series20Days - A wonderful retelling of the 1001 Nights tale. This is a duology with 3 short stories as well.

I didn‘t know what to expect when picking up the first book. It had been on my shelf for a couple years but I absolutely devoured it and immediately needed the next book.

The author is a YA author but this series did not feel like a typical YA book.

Day 1 - Series 1

After a bit of a slow start, this book really took off and I was completely hooked. Lovely writing, wonderful characters that develop nicely and never once made me roll my eyes, and an action-packed plot with a nice romance running through it. It‘s YA, but didn‘t really feel like it, if that makes sense.

Great pick for #LMPBC, Chrissy! I have the second book checked out from the library already.😃

FYI friends- I‘ve noticed I‘ve been tagged and see it in feed, not notifications- so tagging may be glitchy🤣

Post and share your mental health resources.
My BFC goal: listen to 10percent Happier Daily post and meditation.
Pick one house goal and complete it each day.
Will make a separate post about reading goals.

I try to come home and just get out of my own head: read, journal, watch something fun on tv, my sister texts pics or videos of my nieces playing at their house, I started the free 60 day trial of Daily Burn to do a short workout or yoga. I sleep with onger/nap on weekends because I'm so tired. 🙂 Whatever I can. 5y

This is the first time I cannot find one of my books, namely this one.😅 I‘m going to vienna tomorrow to finish moving out of my flat and I really hope it is still there🙈

Anyway: I finished this book yesterday on Audible and I did not grasp that it was not a standalone😭 I already used up my current credit but by the end of the month this will be my next audible pick. There should be a BIG warning lable to prevent such surprises.

I‘d contradict a saying that a good book is one you couldn‘t put down. There are lots of great books I enjoyed and still took me days or weeks to finish.

But this isn‘t one of them.

Finished in one sitting. Exactly my kind of pleasure reading. It has a vibe very much like Uprooted. You get the idea.
