The Count of Monte Cristo has to be one of my most favorite books of all time so I was really excited to get my hands on this eARC. Thank you NetGalley!

Dania's character is Edmond Dantes though she's part Arya Stark when she's chanting names in seeking revenge. Dani believes she was betrayed by her first love Mazin who has joined forces with the emperor who has been controlling and wielding djinn magic through consumption of zoraat seeds. The story follows Dani and Noor (inspired by Abbé Faria) as they escape imprisonment in search of revenge. While this retelling involves more magic, the themes are still there - revenge, redemption, friendship, and love.

I quite enjoyed this book. I actually wanted the book to end before the epilogue because it would have left me to imagine my own ending like when movies fades. That's a personal preference.

*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
