oh i adored everything about this world. the nature-magic, the city states, the religions, and the yaksa are all such interesting concepts and so well crafted. 

Priya, Malini and Bhumika’s characters really left an impact on me, they’re such excellently written characters with very interesting journeys. i will absolutely be reading book 2 and from where things left off i already know i’m gonna love it.

I really liked this book, and would love to read the sequels and other books like it. I did find it to be a bit slow to draw me in, even though a lot of the action was ongoing for much of the book. It felt almost wrong, given the events of the book to mark it as slow-paced, but it took me a long time to get a handle on the plot. Despite that, I really loved and enjoyed the story, and the characters, and am happy I read it!
