A House of Rage and Sorrow by Sangu Mandanna
4.0
I love it when second books are even better than expected. A House of Rage and Sorrow pushes Esmae to the brink as she deals with repercussions from the events of A Spark of White Fire. In beautiful prose we watch as the decisions made by Gods change the fate of worlds, and as Esmae learns more about the people she trusts the ground shifts beneath her feet even more.
This is part of a year where I've worked to read books by South Asian authors (especially since I seem to be stumbling upon them everywhere I look, which is wonderful) and I am so glad I did. I am not well versed in the Mahabarata, but I know enough to appreciate the inspirations they gave Mandanna for this book.
