First thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Teen for this ARC in exchange for my review!
This is my third book by Tara Sim and she has quickly become an author that I will read whatever she writes because it is so GOOD! The worldbuilding is immaculate, the way she weaves Indian mythos with the familiar narrative of a creator terrified of their creation (or the power they wield in that ability to create) is brilliant.
The characters are complex and messy and they though they try to make the right decisions, what is right is not always easy and we see them wrestle with the consequences of choices they make throughout the story. I loved the way there were pieces called back to from the beginning that we see wrapped up in the end, we find our identities and histories that I didn’t see coming.
I desperately need to know how this story ends, it’s gonna be a wild ride!!
