This book is awesome & emotional. It deals with very challenging themes, namely sexual violence against girls and women, so take care when reading. Manisha, the main character, is incredible and so powerful. Her story is one that many women can identify with, although steeped in mythology. I loved the Indian & Greek mythology central to the story (Naga & Medusa retellings). Also, there’s absolutely no room for forgiveness for violent men in this book, and I love it. 

I can’t wait for book 2 to see what Manisha’s sisters have been doing 👀
