This book made me scream a bit. The plot was intriguing, the characters were all morally grey tending towards true darkness, and it truly was well written.
The South Asian mythology it was based around was new to me and held my imagination in its grip.

The reason it is not five stars is due to length. I felt it could be shorter. The middle to 65% of the book dragged for me with a mis/no communication trope. I dislike that particularly path in a book but thankfully it did not last too long.

Overall great read, delightful new mythology, with twists that still have me reeling.
