I loved the development of most of the relationships: Priya & Sima, Bhumika & Jeevan, Ahiranyi vs others, and most of all - Rao & Aditya. Queer, boyhood crush vibes. I found Malini and Priya’s relationship to be heavily out of balance, especially given the coloniser/colonised dynamic, but I think that is the point and will hopefully be rectified in book 3.

the second half of the book is such fucking sexy dnd warlock shit. someone should make a homebrew of that.
the first 10% f the book i was just trying to remember what happened in the first book but then it got good. i feellike everything was explained so well that even i understood the war tactics, the political intrige intricacies, the jabs. the whole deepa shit? so good. also the pacing was so good and ITS SO WELL WRITTEN!! the themes of water and fire, light and dark, so good.... JUST!! THE WATER!! THE FIRE!!! u guys, u GUYS
"what is the star, but distant fire, reaching for you across the worlds?"
also the whole fucking rao arc killed me, I CARE FOR THIS LIL GUY AND THEN TASHA GOES AND SAYS
