Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! I loved the first two books in this series and was so excited to see where the story would go and how it would end. I was not disappointed and First Daughter is the perfect end to an exciting story.
We first meet Aniri in Third Daughter. She is the third daughter of the Queen, so she is rather far down the line as far as obligations to the country. Her two sisters are expected to take on the responsibilites of their people and the nation. Aniri is a free spirit of sorts but has more spunk, loyality, and bravery than either of her sisters. She knows what she wants for herself and knows what is best for her country. And she goes after it!
The reader can not help but just love Aniri from the very first book and she stays the main character throughout the whole series. We really learn so much about her and we get to watch her grow in her love for her country, her husband-to-be, and her family. But she is tough and holds her own when her country or those she loves are in danger.
This has been a fabulous series with drama, action, and love that kept me reading late into the night - just one more chapter! You know how that goes. I loved every bit of it. And lucky you if you have not started this series, you'll be able to devour it all at once! You can start reading Third Daughter and you will not be able to stop until you read the end of First Daughter. So wonderful!!

Continues after Seledri and Ash is kidnapped.
These are fun and adventurous books but has to be read in sequence to understand the story
***Here we get to see Nahali in motion. She's the sister who is more queenly.
Confusion, jealousy and misconception happens in this one.
***Nahali thinks her mother favors Aniri.
***Aniri doesn't want the throne she wants her family together
***Seledri doubts her husband fidelity
***Ash is captured along with Seledri.
Aniri, Karan, Janak and the crew set out devising plan upon plan to rescue Ash and Seledri.
Then Seledri finally loves her husband as they found out Natesh is the one who tried to kill her and Aniri, and destroy dharia and their queen.
Everyone has to make a decision.
Nahali displays her intelligence and she seems aloft but then she warms up to everyone and there was a moment when I thought she betrayed Aniri, cleverly put together, she had a plan to rescue them so she had to improvise.
Aniri gets to understand Nahali and vice versa, Nahali does love her sisters.
Everything is thrown into chaos, as they each try to work together to save the crown and the innocent people who will die if they dont.
What I love about these books:
1.The characters are vibrant, alive and you get to know them.
2.Aniri's strength and determination gets you excited, her smart and clever mind when she decides to act on something.
3.Ash's character development throughout the books, you get to discover who he is while he is handsome, he is also noble, kind and those dreamy moments with Aniri.
4.Janak and Aniri's mutual respect development. Because we see at first Janak did not approve of many things Aniri did. he also thought she was not a wise princess. while Aniri thought Janak was mean. As they journey they discover many things about each other and Janak's loyalty to the queen and protecting her daughters.
5.Karan and Priya's cute romance
6.Aniri's mother Amala and Janak's moment of declaration of love
7.Aniri and Ash finally getting married.
The ships crew and the raksakas, you never fail to see how deadly they are. it sure helps to have more on your team.

How can I not read an adventure/romance set in an India-influenced steampunk world? It did not disappoint.
