I received an e-arc from NetGalley for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley and HarperAlley!

This was a phenomenal book. I was expecting a South Asian book about goddesses and magic, and it is, but the topics it tackled felt more mature than I was expecting (in a great way). It’s lessons about anger, acceptance, and culture were absolutely wonderful, and paired with beautiful art that lended itself to intense action scenes was a perfect match.

The only reasons this book was a 4 star was because I felt the summary gave quite a bit of the plot away and the art initially felt geared towards a younger audience for the first 30ish pages.

Besides that, however, the book was exceptional and I’m excited to see what S.J. Sindhu and Navi H Ali come up with next!

Interesting story with good art, I only wish there had been some kind of author's note about the mythology.

Wow, this was awesome! It was suggested by one of my best friends. Shakti is a witch and she has moved to a new town with her moms. At first she doesn’t make friends and then she finds a group. However, there’s a group of mean girls trying to take over the town with magic and she has to stop them before it’s too late. This was a fast read for me. The illustrations are gorgeous, along with the beauty of the culture included in this book. I’d love to read more from this author.
