As a mother, I am so appreciative of S.A. Chakraborty for writing this book. I loved that we see a mother finding herself and still shooting for greatness. I think that is such an important theme that readers do not often see. I also loved how we saw a variety of religious backgrounds existing, mostly, in harmony. Now, the fantasy elements weren't always for me, and at times I thought it dragged. But I'm excited to see where the series goes.

I got really tired of the scribe’s interruptions, but for the most part, it was a good story!
