For She is Wrath

'For She is Wrath" is a tale about revenge and its cost. It's about how betrayals hurt and the effects not only on those betrayed but those whom care about them. "For She is Wrath" explores the cycles of pain and how revenge can cost more than you'd imagine.

I fell in love with this book, It's characters, its action scenes, the world and its magic. This book had me hooked, even during the moments I wasn't reading, I was thinking about what was going to happen next. I'm still thinking about it.

You can expect revenge driven women, legendary sword skills , prison escapes, djinn magic and epic fight scenes.

This book blew me away. From the get go it drew me in, the plot is fast paced, full of action, comedic quips between characters, tragic loss, love and betrayal.

Written from Dania’s POV ‘Before and After’ her 364 days in prison allows the reader to understand the depth of Maz’s betrayal, and the placement of the before chapters was brilliant story telling. Getting to see their relationship grow and then feel the utter heartbreak and all consuming need for revenge from Dania is genius. It is so well written that I felt the raw emotion and pain as if it were my own.

The descriptive language and imagery used throughout the book was beautiful. I found myself highlighting passages of the story in awe of the writing, just so I could go back and read them again and again.

“A hawk took flight in my chest, the power of its wings beating my skin and willing my whole body to soar.”

The balance of romance vs fantasy plot in this was perfection, I cared just as much about the relationship between Dania and Maz as I did Noor and the ultimate fallout of their plot for revenge. Feeling Dania’s conflicting feelings between love, desire and hate and her trying to make sense of them added to the intensity of the quiet moments as well as the action scenes.

“This was a battle of intimacy, of landing the right strike, testing your opponent. If you rushed ahead, if you put the wrong foot forward, you could lose everything”

Ultimately the story is about whether the price of revenge is worth the cost. It is about found family, forgiveness and not allowing the past to swallow up the possibility of a future.

I cannot wait for this book to be out in the world, theres a stunning Waterstones edition available for preorder and its rumoured to be in the Owlcrate November box. I will be collecting them all!

Hoping we get the continuation of Noor’s story in book two.
