Decidi pegar esse livro quando vi ele na lista de nominação do ano de 2022 fiquei muito curiosa sobre ele e consegui finalmente alugar o audiobook para a leitura dele.
Quando eu terminei ele eu só consegui para e pesar que leitura maravilhosa eu tinha feito e como eu daria de tudo para poder ler mais um pouco sobre ela e as outra esposas.
A escrita da autora é muito boa e a forma como ela descreveu o mundo e magia foi incrível, com uma escrita fácil de ler tornou tudo melhor.
A comida na historia me deixou com água na boca e eu me senti parte da mesa provando das delicias nesses momentos.
Eu quero que quando alguém ler essa resenha e se perguntar porque eu não descrevi mais sobre os personagens é porque eu quero entrem nessa historia como eu sabendo bem pouco pois fica mais magico assim. As descobertas que você faz junto com ela e as pessoas que ela vai conhecer e fazerem parte da vida dela e do reino.
Eu quero muito que ele venha para o Brasil pois ia ser uma leitura que muita gente ia amar e eu tenho certeza.

One thing I thought was done really well in this novel was the use of the time skips throughout. None of them felt especially forced, or jarring and I was never confused as to whether there had been a time skip or the length as it was clearly stated in the novel. To see what Kaikeyi achieves, especially as a woman in her time was inspiring and motivating. While I never realised that asexuality featured in this story
On the other hand, it is some of the men that I couldn't stand and am ashamed to say this is why the book won't be a five star for me (at least on first reading) and while I understand that culturally and historically the actions and beliefs of these men would have been written accurately, I still couldn't get over how annoyed and angry it made me feel. But credit given for such writing being able to cause me to emote like it did
