I LOVE learning about mythology from other cultures. I grew up learning about Greek mythology and ever since I've started branching out, I've been obsessed. This was an amazing exploration of Indian mythology! Also, if you haven't read her debut novel, Kaikeyi, you absolutely should! I requested this ARC simply because I saw this author's name on the cover and it did not disappoint.

My only issue with this book was the vast amount of characters and getting familiar with them so quickly so I could keep the storylines straight. But honestly, as I was unfamiliar with the original myth, that's partly on me as well.

I would greatly encourage people to read the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book before reading as there is quite a heavy plot line that is definitely not for everyone.

But also, shout out to whoever made the cover art because it's gorgeous. 😍

Thanks to Netgalley and Orbit books for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
