This book is amazing. I'm not going to lie, I spent the first 40% wondering if it was too slow and if I wasn't going to enjoy it after having it on my TBR for so long. However, after that point the plot takes off and I almost couldn't put it down. I felt deeply for Kaikeyi by the end and I really loved both the characters and the plot of this book. I now see the slow start is necessary to build things up and I don't think it takes anything away from the book. I also loved that I learned about a part of a country's mythology which I hadn't explored before. I can't wait to see what this author does next.
