3.5

A powerful sapphic South Asian-inspired high fantasy with morally grey complex characters, political machinations, badass women, and nature magic, which ticks basically every box for me, and I soooo wanted to love this. 

I had trouble getting started and definitely feel that the plot lagged at points, which affected my ability to get connected to the story. I also think this one almost has the feeling of a prequel, like this book exists solely to set up the next one, which leaves it feeling a bit lackluster.
