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.

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.

For sure one of my favourite reads of the year so far! 
The prose is incredibly immersive, and the atmosphere created makes you feel like you're witnessing the events first hand. 
Priya and Malini are gorgeous characters,  each one with a deep purpose and a charismatic personality. 
The plot, with all of its intrigues, keeps you glued to the pages. I can't wait to read The Oleander sword! (tradotto: FANUCCI MUOVITI)
