I've always loved anthologies and I think this one does a lot of great things. I know next to nothing about a lot of South Asian folklore and such which made me excited for this book. While I wouldn't say each story was a 10/10 for me, they each kept my attention and were enjoyable.

I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

One of the most beautiful collections of short stories I have read. Brimming with magic, heartbreak, wonder, and love.

Like in any collection, the pieces aren’t equally good, but I liked this overall and learned some new myths!
