A review by bibliobrandie
The Ivory Key by Akshaya Raman

4.0

This fantasy follows four siblings: Vira, Ronak, Kaleb, and Riya. They are very different, don't really like each other much, and are each harboring secrets and conflicting agendas. The siblings find themselves needing each other when magic, a prized resource, runs out and is the only thing between peace and war. Thus begins their quest for the Ivory Key, which will save Ashoka, and the siblings.
I don't know if I have ever read a book from four siblings points of view, I really liked it. Each of the siblings were well developed with distinct personalities. The pacing of the story was a bit off, the questing chapters were too much for me, but I really enjoyed the story and the characters and love the cliffhanger at the end. The epilogue is told from a fifth perspective, a tease for the duology’s next installment, which I will definitely be reading.
