Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove by Rati Mehrotra
4.0
Night of the Raven,Dawn of the Dove follows two kingdoms, political scheming along with elements of fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed this desi fantasy. Katyani and her cousins travel to the ashram of a famous guru to get the best education available. She is a bodyguard to the boys who would be future kings.
After their studies are over, they return to the kingdom to find themselves surrounded by betrayal and
tragedy. Many unexpected events take place and Katyani learns several unknown facts about herself and the events surrounding her life. She tries to set things right in her life and deal with people responsible for the tragedies.
The world building was great and the writing flowed easily. The plot was pretty fast paced and the characters were enjoyable and Katyani was someone you'd want to root for in full swing. The romance was a well written sub plot and it did not hinder the original story by any means.
This was such a good desi fantasy standalone I read after a long time.
