wow. Tasha Suri is a force to be reckoned with here in fiction: her prose is lyrical and stunning; her worlds rich and robust; her characters complex, and I couldn't get enough. I am a big fan of epic fantasy, of complexity, of chaos, of rebellion and revolution, of political intrigue, and especially of sapphic couples, and all of those loves (and more) bloomed abundantly here. beautiful book, just stunning

TL;DR: A young woman must determine how far she will go to remember who she was in her childhood and become that person again. Family, either blood or found, can be difficult.

I found it difficult to summarize this book as there were so many characters whose stories intertwine. I would say Priya is the main character as we spend most of our time with her.

This is a good book but its SLOW af. like I was barely hanging in there until half way through the book then it FINALLY picked up the pace and the last half was really enjoyable. I found it pretty difficult to situate myself in the world setting with so many characters and places. There’s some sickening imagery and content so beware. But the magic is very unique and I enjoyed that. The Indian fantasy setting was great. Lots of girlbossing lots of straight up bad people in this book. Womens rights AND womens wrongs! As much as it has a weak beginning, it also has a strong ending.

Feminism is the theme of this work and it feels incredibly applicable for modern issues. Also Priya is a badass.

I wanted to love this book more than I did, but I think it really needed a more ruthless editor. There are parts that just get too mired in dialogue to be enjoyable, and the
imprisonment on the Hirana
could have benefitted from tighter writing. On the positive side, I adored the world building and the characters were interesting. It's a beautiful world, I hope we get to see more of it in the next book.
