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)

It was definitely a wild ride! There was a lot to set up for this fantasy novel so it took me a minute to get into it. But I did get into it eventually! When I did, I was mostly interested in the two main characters and their love story. But that’s not actually what the majority of the book is about 😆. I wish it was! There’s no spice, but they’re together in the fight to get to the top and be in power which was interesting to follow. I probably won’t keep going in the series but I did enjoy the story and would recommend for those that love fantasy.
