3.5
A strong beginning for the trilogy, with a fascinating — though rather vague — worldbuilding and complex female characters to drive the narrative forward. I wasn't extremely sold on Priya and Malini's chemistry, but their relationship is well developed given their circumstances, and it looks like it will get even more complicated going forward. Shit's about to get messy and I can't wait to watch.
Graphic: Torture and Death
Moderate: Abandonment and Child abuse
Minor: Homophobia
Malini spends a large part of the book forcibly imprisoned while being slowly poisoned.
