"I hope it wasn’t too traumatic." Tasha Suri says in the acknowledgments... Well, I have never been more traumatized in my life.
This book contained the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It made me the happiest person on earth and the saddest at the same time.
If you thought The Jasmine Throne waw great, oh you're in for a treat. Tasha Suri steps it up about 100 notches in this one. The Oleander Sword truly had me on the edge of my seat the entire book.
In book one, I had many questions about the world and why it was the way it was, but I read this, and it just clicked. There was literally a light bulb moment halfway where it all made sense. A genius wrote this book, I am telling you.
Priya and Malini. It hurts. There was a terrible sense of foreboding throughout the novel. They really are THAT morally grey power couple.
OH bhumika! rao! their point of views I love. Especially Rao, him finding himself and his path this book was great. Someone give that boy a break. Bhumika's pov was genius. Her relationship with Jeevan was a work of art.
How many times can I say that I love this book without getting annoying? I don't think I can wait long enough for book three.

i found the stories even better than the previous book and i adore how much more focus there was on both the magical side of this world and on Malini and Bhumika’s political schemes.
loved it, can’t wait for the last book!!
