I picked this up from my library having never heard anything about it. But a book about a clan of lady assassins? Sign me up!
I almost wish we’d gotten more of an immersion in the Order of Kali. We get enough that we understand the gravity of the death of the Mahimata, but not much else. I feel like this could have been divided up into a couple of books just for the sake of world building. But that being said, I really enjoyed what little we got!
My only other complaint was the romance. It seemed to come out of nowhere, and while I’m not mad about it, I wanted more tension.
Overall, still a 4 star book. I’m mad that I don’t have the sequel checked out yet!
