⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you haven’t read Jasmine Throne, stop here, drop everything, get yourself a copy, read it and now come back. I’ll wait. Great. Now we’re all on the same page, and I shouldn’t really have to do a lot of work here. Because Jasmine Throne should have blown your mind enough that you should be, like me, quivering with anticipation for the sequel. You should be dying to know what happened to Priya and Malini. So I’m going to address the rest of this review to people who need to be sold on the series, not just this book. We are living in a great time for epic fantasy, and this series is one of the reasons why. It feels as huge and grand as Game of Thrones, or Wheel of Time, but with a much more modern and fresh sensibility. It is right in that sweet spot of familiar and new. Fans will recognize the court intrigue and epic battles; the long lost powers suddenly returning to the world, but with just enough of a twist that you’ll be unable to look away. It won’t feel derivative. It will feel new. I recommend this for fans of R.F. Kuang, Brandon Sanderson, Shelly Chan, N.K. Jemisin, and J.R.R. Tolkien. If you wished Game of Thrones had more disaster lesbians in it, this series is for you. I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for this honest review. #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #epicfantasy #disasterlesbians #jasminethrone #oleandersword (at Annapolis, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzUHFjLw9v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
