Court of Lions by Somaiya Daud Review & GIVEAWAY

Two identical girls, one a princess, the other ar rebel. Who will rule the empire? 

After being swept up into the brutal Vathek court, Amani, the ordinary girl forced to serve as the half-Vathek princess's body double, has been forced into complete isolation. The cruel but complex princess, Maram, with whom Amani had cultivated a tenuous friendship, discovered Amani's connection to the rebellion and has forced her into silence, and if Amani crosses Maram once move, her identity - and her betrayal - will be revealed to everyone in the court.

Amani is desperate to continue helping the rebellion, to fight for her people's freedom. But she must make a devastating decision: will she step aside, and watch her people suffer, or continue to aid them, and put herself and her family in mortal danger? And whatever she chooses, can she bear to remain separated from Maram's fiance, Idris? 

Review

I loved this book! It was just as good as the first book (if not better)! 

I love the author's writing, and I love the Moroccan influences. I have been trying to read more books by POC, and this was a GREAT one!

Although I am not a fan of poetry, anyone that likes poetry (or even just respects it as an artform) will appreciate the role that poetry plays in this story. 

The only issue I have is that there isn't more to this story, but I believe this is only a duology. I would love to see what happens with the characters after this book ends!

Thank you to the publishers for giving me a copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review. Also, thank you for giving me a copy to give away!

Giveaways!

Hello everyone! I've been pretty busy this past week. I have had some time to read, but no time to post the reviews. : ( I've got a long weekend ahead of me, with class all night tonight and all day tomorrow and Sunday. Check in with me after this weekend and I should have a couple of new reviews up. I just finished reading Red Rising and a couple of other books! And you're going to want to hear all about it...trust me!

In the mean time, since I have no reviews to offer you, I will offer you the opportunity to win some awesome prizes! Since this is a book blog, I had to, of course, share a couple of the book giveaways that I've come across, but also, since it's the beginning of the holiday season, I thought it might be good to share one that would make great gifts! Also, in case you didn't realize it through my review of First Division Rags, I am indeed, an animal lover. So, of course, one of the giveaways is pet themed!


Good luck everyone, and see you in a few days!
