Reminded me of the book, Kaikeyi with the men being volatile and in power to only have a wife. I’m continuing the duology solely for the audiobook. I wanted to love this because of the pretty cover but I just didn’t..

I really liked this concept—especially the great change and the consequences. But I felt like the writing let it down. It felt very YA and clunky.

I don't know where I was when she started publishing or if I just ignored it since the books take place in Africa but I really love her writing.
