A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston
4.0
Actual rating: 4.5 stars
Huge thanks to the Disney Book Group for giving me access to an eARC.
This retelling is uniquely beautiful in a thousand ways. The plot was simple but E.K. Johnston's soothing writing style adds the dash of magic the story needs. It had a slow start but as you read on, it will give you more than what you expect. To the curious readers, this is nothing like The Wrath and the Dawn, they're just based on the same classic and have a few identical basic facts. Otherwise, the authors have re-imagined them with their own distinct voices.
I really recommend this if you're looking for a light fantasy retelling.
