👸 BLOG TOUR REVIEW + GIVEAWAY! 👸 Q: Do you enjoy retellings? If so, do you have a favorite to share? I'm thrilled today to be on the @jaimerockstarbooktours blog + bookstagram tour for THE MAN OR THE MONSTER by @aamna_qureshi, from @camcat_books! This is the follow-up to THE LADY OR THE LION, which I featured a few days ago in my feed. There's a our-wide giveaway you can enter at Book-Keeping blog (link in bio)! This review will be short and sweet so as not to spoil *anything* from this incredible series. I was able to binge these back-to-back, and I loved both THE LADY OR THE LION and THE MAN OR THE MONSTER! In the first book we met Durkhanai and her royal family and watched her fall in love -- only to be forced to send her lover through “the trial,” in which he must pick from one of two doors, behind which waits either a lady he will then marry (which means he’s innocent) or a lion (which means he’s guilty). This book is based on the short story “The Lady, or the Tiger?” and is set in a Pakistan-inspired world that was amazing to visit. At the end of the first book, Durkhanai has sent her lover off to be either married to another woman or killed by a lion, in either situation meaning she loses him forever. In THE MAN OR THE MONSTER, Durhkanai must come to terms with her decision and the impacts it has on her and those around her. It was amazing to watch Durkhanai come into her own, realize who she is as a person, and determine whether she will continue things as they have always been or if she can be and do better for her people than her grandparents and rulers before them. I absolutely love this duology (I believe it’s just a duology) and would recommend it to anyone who loves retellings and YA fantasy in general!

Book Review…The Man or the Monster by Aamna Qureshi Durkhanai Miangul sealed her lover’s fate when she sent him through a door where either a lady or a lion awaited him. But her decision was only the beginning of her troubles. Durkhanai worries that she might not be the queen her people need or deserve when conflict threatens her kingdom. Her presumed-dead father comes back with a vengeance and wishes she join him in his cause. But her family’s denial of his revenge forces Durkhanai to take matters into her own hands and she must decide whether to follow the traditions of her forefathers or forge a new path on her own. I was up late into the night reading this book! It's full of betrayal, drama, forbidden romance, surprising twists and so much more! The Man or the Monster picks up right after the ending of The Lady or the Lion and Durhanai must live with the consequences. She is going through a lot but her character went through a lot of changes. It's definitely a series that once you start you can't stop! I can't wait to see what happens next! Thank you Rockstar Book Tours, Aamna Qureshi, and CamCat Books for sharing this wonderful story with me! #TheManortheMonster #AamnaQureshi #books #camcatbooks #rockstarbooktours #bookreview #greatread #bookstagram #bookstagrammer The #MarghazarTrials #igbooks #igreads #read #yafantasy (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CidUvEGpiUk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
