The way that Tuli has been able to successfully complete 2 major quartets in the past 6 months is stunning (Artefacts of Ouranos was done at the end of 2024). This series, which uses a lot of south Asian mythology, was fascinating! The story centers on a primary couple, but also dives deeper into the side characters' relationships as well. It is emotional to read stories where everyone gets the endings they deserve (especially the bad guys), and the MCs get the ending they were, quite literally, created to receive. 💖
