I have never heard anyone say a bad word about this series so I went in with high expectations. I was certainly impressed by the complex world the author created, but I fear I’m more of a character girlie than a plot girlie. I sort of feel neutral about everyone, which did make a certain

death

easier to handle tbh but I’d like to learn more! Gimme more emotions, more back story, more internal conflict!!

That being said the story was great, not as mind-blowing as I thought it would be but definitely a respectable 4/5 ⭐️ and I will be continuing on with the series!

The first part of the book moves at a slow pace with some incidents between rival clans but otherwise focused on revealing the world and characters to the readers. The latter half picks up in pace as you follow the Kaul family entering into a war with the rival clan. The world building is thoughtfully done, showcasing the contribution of politics, history, and religion to the climate of the present day in the story. Each character is written with their own sense of morality and ideals; there is a lot more emphasis on some given the plot, so I’d love to see others enter the spotlight throughout the series. I’m excited to see how things continue to unfold in the next book!

I listened to the audiobook and was absolutely enraptured by this rich world. The author does an absolutely amazing job creating thrilling clan politics that have you considering the different perspectives of the characters and how their current circumstances have led them to making their choices. Each character is amazingly fleshed out.
The only reason I’m knocking it down a star is sometimes felt like I was listening to a history textbook happening in real time, and just needed a liiiiitle more personalization. But I think that’s more personal taste.
