millibear's review against another edition

adventurous dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

Pacing was a little weird, especially at the end

where the characters fork off and the steam the plot had picked up just deflated,

but overall a good read. Intrigued by the idea of

spirits that are presented as not exactly good being aligned with a main character

. Probably will read the sequel!

Did enjoy some of Suri's choices on how the two main characters interacted even as they

made their feelings known. Malini holding a knife on Priya as a good thing in the moment? Exceptional.

4.0

I really enjoyed this book, with it's beautiful, lush prose, in-depth world building and politics, and complex, flawed characters. I definitely feel as if a re-read is on the cards at some point, perhaps once the whole series is out, so I can really get everything out of this book, from the imagery and symbolism of fire and flower, to the depth of the characters and their relationships. I'm definitely reading the next one.
