Wait, wait, wait, have I finished this 20 hours long audiobook in... checks the dates... four days?
Four days?
Okay, wow. Truth be told I did have a lot of work around house, so that meant more time for listening, but it was also true that it was hard to put it down, once I started. This book is a beautifully written epic fantasy full of betrayal, complicated characters, dramatic moments, difficult relationships with vivid descriptions that felt so alive. It's a very captivating story, it catches you and doesn't let you go.
I loved characters a lot, especially the main characters - Malini and Priya. Their moral struggles, wants, different upbringings and roles. Their romance was full of yearning it burned. I loved the duality and symbolism of their characters and relationship, how they represent two faces of power. But I also loved to bits and pieces the very difficult family dynamics, all of the heartbreaking and hard relationships between adopted temple siblings, and the destructive one of Malini and her brothers.
I love how this book heavily focuses on "invisibile" women, how it depicts different forms of power and rebelion. How it explore raw emotions and rage. I can't wait to see where the characters will go next.
