Beginning was very slow but it built into a beautifully described world full of complex characters, mystery, and action. Themes of revolution, colonisation, feminism, queer romance, enemies to lovers set in a south Asian inspired fantasy world

This is a solid start to a new fantasy series. The beginning is a bit info-dumpy and there are parts of the story that are a bit slow, but I love our characters and this intrigue of the world. This has forest magic that corrupts people which is a trope I love plus a variety of different own world gods and religions. Plus a sapphic romance.
