A slow read with an explosive ending, I did enjoy A Thousand Nights as a retelling of the classic tale. I do recommend for those who love a fantasy tale.

I was really intrigued about this book. I have read and reviewed another book based on the same stories and loved it and I couldn't wait to dive into this one.

I really wish I had liked this one, but it was just a little bit too slow paced for my liking. I found it really boring and really struggled to get through it. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me.

This was an intriguing take on the well known story One Thousand and One Nights. I enjoyed the YA twist on the old tale, however it didn't wow me which was a shame. It had so much promise but it fell a little flat for me.
I did enjoy the writing in this. It's beautifully written, so vivid and intricate in its descriptions of the desert. It really brought the setting to life through its lyrical, detailed descriptions. Always a winner for me.
I liked the contrast in our main characters. One innocent, strong willed and determined, the other a demonic and evil being. I wish we could have got to know the other characters in the story but not knowing their names made me feel more disconnected than anything. I enjoyed the emphasis on storytelling but felt that this story lacked just that - stories.
All in all I enjoyed certain aspects of this story but felt it was lacking in other areas. Beautifully written though.

Unfortunately, I didn’t engage with the characters and found the plotline too confusing. I don’t post negative reviews, so have declined comment.

Already reviewed and feedback sent ages ago. Not sure why these are duplicating. But please find review content at my archived blog www.behindonbooks.wordpress.com
