Tome Thursday: The Wrath and the Dawn


Hello everyone!

So a long time ago, in blog terms that is, I wrote a post regarding a retelling of Arabian Nights, this one being titled A Thousand Nights. And then, what I promised myself and anyone who really reads this blog, was that I was going to read The Wrath and the Dawn and compare the two books side by side, or at the very least point out differences and similarities.

That being obviously other stuff besides the retellings of Arabian Nights, of course.

And then what I did was conveniently forget about the lot of it, meaning I didn't get around to actually even reading this book until very recently, and go figure but when I went to check on when exactly I wrote the first blog, it was six months ago.

I really do ace these things, I know I do.

Now, that being said, I have to mention I'm a big fan of Arabian Nights - in fact, I actually have a gilded book in Slovene of one translated version of the thing, which is so huge I need to sit down when I'm reading it.

Yeah, you could probably whack someone over the head with the hardcover and they'd drop. Nifty weapon of choice!
