Recommendation: Highly recommended
Recommended By: Kobo suggested reading list
Words for which I sought help:
palimpsest -- a manuscript of piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing but of which traces remain.
Review:
The plot is fun. There is a bit much violence for my taste, but the story calls for it. The characters develop in even a short period of time and the introduction to the world being built is magnificent. I look forward to the next book.
This sort of extends the concept of Scheherazade and looks at what happens after she is eventually killed. The magic of her stories suffuses the environment of this story. It is fun and consistent. Abdullah is clever and interweaves the stories of Scheherazade with the story being told well so that it feels like a consistent narrative.
