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!

While I really enjoyed the concepts and characters, the pacing was very slow. It meandered along an inevitable path, and was still pleasant to read, but took me a long time to fight through it.

WOMEN—
Tasha Shuri has written some of the strongest, wittiest and most morally grey women I've read and I love them for that. Bhumika, Malini and Priya are amazing characters and hard carry the story on their wise, fearless, ambitious shoulders. I love them so very much and would literally die for them 😭
