“My name is Violet Choudhury. I descend from an ancient royal heritage. Since the days when India was the enchanted playground of gods and maharajas, the women in my family were queens—Aiedeo.”


I loved The premise of the story. It actually got a tad confusing but it all actually made sense to me. I truly believe that this could’ve been executed in a neater and orderly manner but I think the chaotic layout gives the book its charm. 

It took me a while to get into it, especially having a white washed, mean girl lackey desi girl. Did I grow into loving Violet? Yes, but super super late into the book. The book’s worldbuilding was also a lot longer which makes it slightly draggy. 

I really do hope there’s a follow up to this book. I really would love to explore it more.
