The Boy with Fire by Aparna Verma
4.0
the book is inspired by Indian mythologies, with sci-fi aspects and the quotes in the begging which gived you little insights about the world are just perfect
"to be forgiven, one must be burned "
This book was a roller coaster and if needed i am ready to sit through it again!!
The world building-perfect
The amount of morally grey characters - just right
The desi rep - slaps
Elena and Ferma - I would die for
okay so initially it was little hard getting into reading because of the world building but once I got settled down I absolutely loved it, the south asian based world and the sci-fi aspect with it was perfect it felt real and absolutely magical and ethereal, I loved the characters and I somehow felt the things they were going through, Elena by the soon to be queen who is yet to balance fire, Yassen a ex assassin who is torn between the two worlds , Leo who just wants to protect his kingdom and daughter and will go to any extreme.
and the ending was just-
I need the second book please
the only part I didn't enjoyed was the romance in the last part, it kinda felt forced and rushed, but i do wanna see more of them!!
in total if you loved fantasy and sci-fi genres, don"t think twice and pick this book up
