What a brilliant read!!!!
Gul joins the Sisters of the Golden Lotus who are basically some kickass women who train to be warriors and use their charms, fighting skills as well as magic to protect other girls and women and just sorta fight injustice.
I’m in awe of them all, especially Juhi, Kali and Amira. They all have so much character and personality and well-developed pasts! A common mistake while writing strong women characters or warriors is to make them sorta two-dimensional or make them ultra masculine but the author didn’t fall into the trap of either. All these women learn to fight in saris tied dhoti style and let me tell you, walking in a sari is a struggle, let alone fighting!
I pity you all who’re gonna read this and just start drooling all over. There is so much delicious food that’s described in these books with lavish descriptions for all the non-desi readers!
I’m honestly in awe of the entire storyline and the wonderful pace at which it progresses, giving us enough time to learn about and get attached to the characters while not lingering too much. There are so many fascinating sub-plots woven in and some really interesting characters that I’m dying to read more about in the next book.
Although I wish the magic system was explored a bit more, I’m hoping that will be happening in the next books. I think my favourite part was how the story progresses in a manner that yo can guess what might happen but in the second half of the book everything is chaos and there’s so much going on and a lot of new aspects are introduced, ending the book in a way that left me reeling and craving for a lot more
