Summary: a beautiful story
Review:
Based on the Arabian Nights this story is that of a king (Shahrayar) with a curse that he shall never love again, instead he will take one wife every full moon that will be killed in the morning. Then the blind Shahrazad steps forward and makes a plan to tell the king a story that will take many nights to tell, he will love it so much he'll keep her alive to hear the end. With stories in the story this is a book that keeps your attention until the last page.
It has a strong female lead that is well developed, interesting and certainly likeable. I think the rest of the characters also stand out, especially the king whose thoughts and feelings are portrayed as much as Shahrazad's.
I have never known the story of the Arabian Nights and so I found this refreshing and different. I don't know how much like the original it is or if there are any aspects that Dokey developed more than other writers.
I would say that this is a book for aged 10 and above if only because some times the stories within stories can be slightly confusing, but I'm really not very good at suggesting ages. I preferred it to "beauty sleep" because I thought it was more interesting and I liked the ending better. I also felt that there was more of the story.
It is a very quick, simple, interesting tale that is beautifully written. I would've only enjoyed it more if it were longer.

Summary: Awsome!
Review: I thought that this book was a good book. I agree with one review that the author could have done better on the romantic part of the book. This book was supposed to be about the romance that "evolved". But the author kind of lost the whole romantic idea towards the middle of the book. I think that the author got too involved in writing the different stories. I did like how the author had Shahrazad tell one story to save her life. That was the best part of the book.

Summary: So many stories, so little time
Review: "Storyteller's Daughter" is the story of Shahrazad, the daughter of a vizier and a storyteller who saves her country. It is the frame story from the Arabian Nights in which a woman tells stories each night and never finishes them before dawn in hopes of living another day. For if she doesn't give her husband, the king, a reason to extend her life, she will be executed at dawn. The next night she finishes the story from the previous night and then begins another. In Dokey's version of the story, Shahrazad is blind and brave. She has learned to see with her heart and knows that the king has been deeply wounded by his first wife who betrayed him. As she helps the king heal through her stories, they both learn how to forgive, trust, and love each other. However, other forces are also seeking to destroy them and gain the throne. How the story ends is different from the original tale, but should prove satisfying to most readers. The romance in the story is not heavy-handed nor the only theme of the book. This should appeal to those who love a romance or simply a historical adventure. This paperback appears to be the first in a series of fairy tale retellings with a "Once Upon a Time" theme. "Storyteller's Daughter" is the first, soon to be followed by "Beauty Sleep," also by Cameron Dokey. Then "Snow" by Tracy Lynn will follow later. Another great book to read as a companion to this one is "Shadow Spinner" by Susan Fletcher.

Review: A king, an enchantment, and a story. All these make up Shahrazad's life.This story also has a great message.It's what's in the heart that counts.

I really liked this book because the women were the smart ones that saved everybody. It shows that women are really smart and can use their brains to get out of tricky situations. This book was exciting and suspenseful. I loved reading this book. Girls of all ages will really enjoy this book.

Summary: A good book with a great setting!
Review: Honestly, I thought this book was going to be a little better than it was. I thought the romance aspect of the book could have had more detail. However, considering the length of the book, it was a pretty good novel. I would have liked it better if there was more detail and if it were longer. However, several of the stories that were told within the book were actually very interesting, and I loved the setting. I do recommend this book, especially to those who like stories set in India or Persia, as I do.

Summary: The Storyteller's Daughter
Review: I've just (today) recieved "The Storyteller's Daughter" all I needed to read was the name Shahrazad and I knew it was The Arabian Nights. Still I read it and yes I finished it and I do not know how to rate the book. A thing to note is that it is a variation on The Arabian Nights. Seeing it as such, I cannot give it a succinct rating. The story was interesting and she (the author) did not in the least conceal that it was a variation on The Arabian Nights. ...Suffice it to say, it ... is, however, a worthwile read.

Summary: let's hear it for Shahrazad!
Review: Listen up! This is the book, the only book that didn't screw up the story! The best retelling in the series by far and my favorite by Cameron Dokey! You already knew the plot from the other reviews so I'm gonna make this quick--this is the best book in the series and the only book that James and I can agree on being the best retelling of Arabian Nights! Watch out Aladdin, watch out Sinbad 'cause the girls are movin' in! You heard me! Shahrazad and Dinarzad are the best people in the book! If you're looking for romance, magic, mystery, intrigue, fun, entertainment and overall enjoyment, look no further! Dokey has done it! A winning story! A lot of cool twists! Magic in a book!

Summary: An Act Of Self Sacrafice
Review: The girl in the book is one that is completely un-selfish and she offers herself to the king in order to change his heart and save the future maidens of the land from being executed. Though this book is good, I think that Cameron Dokey's other book, Beauty Sleep, is much better.
