Loved this. S.A. Chakraborty can WRITE. The worldbuilding is so vivid, you can tell there is lore on lore behind what you get on the page. This was a hot, sandy, magical traipse into one of the most beautiful worlds I’ve ever been fortunate enough to encounter. I really loved the political strife bc it was complex, nuanced, and felt very real and valid. All the characters are developed well and I really felt for all of them. Enjoyed this thoroughly.
