If there is one thing I haate it's a dumb main character and Maya is SO fucking stupid and rash

, in all of her lives

.  She did not have one single thought for herself, and made every decision on impulse and based on something someone she absolutely shouldn't trust (HELLO??? Mother Dhina hates you and has been nothing but evil to you your whole life whyyy would you choose to heed her "keep some secrets for yourself" advice, ESPECIALLY in regards to a weird ass door you found in a palace that you've been warned is basically out to get you???)

(HELLO?????? "i need you to lead me" ???? how did it take her so long to connect the fucking dots? (and only after the dots were already connected for her, mind you. so really, she never connected shit) you were just the victim of an attempted murder by a shadow woman that said these exact words to you, why would you believe anything that comes out of the mouth of the person who just said this to you and is clearly trying to manipulate you??). She really must have not loved Amar if she believed Nritti over him in TWO lifetimes.

Anyway, pretty writing (though OVERLY flowery at times) so 3 stars.
