The Legend of Meneka by Kritika H. Rao
3.0

Steeped in rich Hindu mythology with gods and apsaras and sages, this book sounded right up my alley but unfortunately the execution fell a bit flat. The female MC seemed a bit 2D and lacked personality. The romance between Meneka and Kaushika also felt a bit forced - like they went from actively not liking each other to basically screwing within a chapter with very little build up… 

Also looootttts of inner monologue.

The mythology was really interesting and I definitely need to read more of it.
