So obviously I trust Jesse @bowtiesandbooks with my life. But my faith in them is truly confirmed after reading this rec. This deserves all of the hype. An own voices Indian fantasy with a truly whacked out plot, characters that you love and love to hate, and world building so complex without being confusing. The writing style did take some getting used to, but that was a me problem, not a book problem. Also, I docked one star for fatphobia.
