Sisters of the Snake sort of gave me Aladdin meets the Parent Trap vibes.
When Ria and Rani realize that they are twins they quickly decide to switch places. Unlike the movie, The Parent Trap, their mission isn't to bring their parents back together. Mostly because one grew up being an orphan while the other didn't. I was very intrigued with their switch because I wanted to see how they would adopt to the others life.
Now you are probably wondering why Aladdin? Well, why not? No, seriously, the Aladdin vibes are when the father is under a spell and doesn't really know what's going on. Until it's broke that is. Plus, the snakes, magic, and red jewel just made me think of Jafar. Which, yes, now I want to drop everything and watch Aladdin.
Ever since I met Ria and Rani, I actually really liked them. I think the switch definitely made them better as a person. It was also interesting to see how they could or couldn't fool the people close to them either. Eventually they started to see the clues but dang, it took them a while to finally figure it all out.
As for the villain, and the overall secrets coming out, I didn't see it coming until it was too late. I think it's because I kept pausing my audiobook a lot to answer work phone calls and it just made me miss the clues here and there. Still, I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the sequel. Especially with how this all ended.
In the end, I want to know who the master is. Super excited for the sequel to come out this summer.

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.
