Sisters of the Snake took me some time to complete reading, but I enjoyed it so much whenever I had the chance to delve into this book!
Sisters of Snake was a beautiful Prince and the Pauper retelling! The plot twists and character growth kept me wanting more; The inclusion of Indian culture and cuisine was so beautifully done to craft the story's colorful and vibrant world! I enjoyed the character development and world-building the most! The plot and conflict/ resolution enticed me into reading the story!
However, I felt like some of the conflict/resolution and dialogue were formulaic and predictable at times. I was saddened that there was no map of this world for such a wonderful fantasy world-building story - A map is not really necessary, but I would have liked it paired with this beautiful fantasy world and the lovely dust jacket. I felt like some of the dialogue and conflict/resolution was predictable for my liking, but the last chapter definitely made up for it!
Therefore, it's a 4 Star rating for me! I'm looking forward to reading the second book of Ria and Rani!

Royal twins separated at birth finding each other and switching places. Snake magic. Mystery and intrigue. Brilliant, twisty plot. Give me more please.
