This is really between a 2/3 star book for me. Plot was good, characters were fine, I didn’t really connect to any of them, but they weren’t bad. I really liked the Indian setting and I thought the magic system was interesting, but that was about it. The romance didn’t have any chemistry to me, and some of the writing felt a little juvenile-not all but parts. I mean, I finished the book instead of jumping ship, so it wasn’t bad- I just was a little let down. *Insert shrugging emoji here*

Abandoned at about 40% in.
I was not connecting with this book. It was like "Man in the Iron Mask/Prince and the Pauper" combined and that wasn't the problem or maybe it was? It was so broad and I didn't feel like it was very tight. There were different mysteries going on but not enough to retain my interest.
I guess the main thing is that I've seen this story before and I couldn't go through 9 more hours of it.
I like fantasy but my main complaint is that it is plodding. There wasn't enough world and character building to hold my interest but it may be a hit for people that are really into fantasy.

The perfect summer read! Lush and warm, dark and twisted, with my favourite kind of palace intrigued and brilliantly developed twin protagonists. 10/10 would recommend, and I can’t wait for more.

I really enjoyed this book! Each chapter switches perspective between the main characters and I looked forward to both adventures, which is hard to get right in a split narration. It got a bit cheesy and predictable towards the end, but I liked the characters a lot. Would read the sequel when it comes out.
