*SHAKES FIST AT PAST SELF*

This book was truly just another instance of me trying to read it at the wrong time. When I first tried it, the beginning failed to grab me so I decided to put it aside. But I recently got motivation to try it out again and BOY, what a wonderful experience.

I loved this so much! The further I got, the more mad I got at my past self for putting this aside for so long. The one upside is I don’t have to wait quite as long for the sequel, which I’m already dying to have in my hands. I have so much fun with Chakraborty’s writing and her characters are fresh and interesting. Her worldbuilding is impeccable as always. I loved Amina and her crew and am so looking forward to more adventures with them on the Marawati!
