The Lotus Empire by Tasha Suri

5.0

When I started this series I said that its first book was unfortunately weaker than the rest of the lesbian fantasy teifecta, but that I also remained hopeful that I'd eat my words. Well nom nom nom bitch this is just as much about lesbianism as it is about grief Tashaaaaa Tasha if I catch you Tasha! She made leaps n strides between books it's so fucking good fantasy that takes itself seriously emotions SERIOUSLY knows how to build one of the juiciest yummiest magic systems I've perhaps ever seen!!!! Bigggg fan of abandoning the flesh for the machine and the machine for the divine just to see that divinity will ask for your humanity in a way that you can only recover from by feeling a love so deep it transcends it all Tasha Suri I am going to fucking kill you!!!!! It was exceptional once again the whole trilogy snuck up on me but this book was just. An orchestra of things so perfectly in synch so so perfectly paced it makes me insane to think about! Her dialogue is so fucking good the MAGIC SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN I CANNOT EVEN BE NORMAL ABOUT and it's so cohesive and it makes sense and the respect for human emotion running thru this book like a thread like water!!!! Tashaaaa come here Tasha
