The Moth & the Flame by Renée Ahdieh

4.0

The Moth and the Flame is a short novella that shows how Despina (the handmaiden of the queen) and Jalal Al-Khoury (Captain of the Royal Guard) meet, how they fall in love and how they got to where they were in the Wrath and the Dawn.

I love everything about this world, I just love it. It's so beautiful, the setting was described thoroughly well in the writing, the writing itself was beautiful! The characters and their teasing, the way it was structured and the way it transitioned from one thing to another...it was astonishing.

I'm grateful for these novellas but they're teasing me too much. I want the Rose and the Dagger right now!
