millibear's review against another edition

adventurous dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

Pacing was a little weird, especially at the end

where the characters fork off and the steam the plot had picked up just deflated,

but overall a good read. Intrigued by the idea of

spirits that are presented as not exactly good being aligned with a main character

. Probably will read the sequel!

Did enjoy some of Suri's choices on how the two main characters interacted even as they

made their feelings known. Malini holding a knife on Priya as a good thing in the moment? Exceptional.

3.0

A lot of what didn't work for me were the writing choices, this book did two things that I find exhausting which is over explaining concepts and a million POVs. And most of those POVs exist to overexplain the plot and what is going on with each piece as it moves. I just wish the author had more faith in her readers. This book is 500+ pages but feels like a prologue to the actual story. This isn't to say others won't like this book, it's got a lot going for it, particularly the rot and associated magic systems, and interesting characters (Bhumika!) But the structure was hard for me to get past

wlw, clean, fantasy, magic

Tasha Suri writes a story quite unlike any book I've ever read before. Her prose and the inventive use of multiple POVs truly create a multi-layered world the encaptures the reader. I can honestly say I've never read a book quite like it, in the absolute best of ways. The world building was so in-depth, so meticulously thought out, that I felt I completely understood the world Suri created. Reading this was like solving a puzzle without meaning to. Suri's writing guides the reader along a truly incredible path that allows the reader deepen their understanding of the world without having to consciously try to decipher it. This book is what I would consider the very best of the high fantasy genre.
