I just finished this book and oh my love, I am a whirlwind of emotion. It's really not an easy task at all to finish a series in a way that is satisfying but god did Tasha Suri master it. I cried, I laughed and I oohed and aahed and I had the most wonderful time. I so look forward to rereading this series again and again. I am truly so luckily to have the privilege of living in a time where great authors like her are still publishing new books! I am already looking forward to reading "The Isle in the Silver Sea" <3

*Excuse name misspellings, I listened to the audiobook. 

**There are Issues with chapter numbers in audiobook- it always said I was 3 chapters behind. 

Pet peeve- this author uses “inclined [their] head” SO often. I had this issue with “gristle” in the first book, which the author sid manage to use only twice, I think. 

Maybe reading the audiobook was my problem as I read the half of the Oleander sword by physical copy and loved it, but I just could not get myself to care about this story. I ended up waiting for the chapters from Bhumika’s POV because the other main characters two were so intense but also monotonous. 

Sima, Bhumika, and Row had perfect character arches, with 

Malini a close second. 

Overall this book was fine. I never really looked forward to it but looking back I know it was a good story. 

“To live you will need many masks.”

A perfect ending to this series!! I loved the first two in the series and this book was no exception. I loved being able to be a part of Priya and Malini's world (and beautiful love story).
