4.75 stars. I really enjoyed this book. I love the worldbuilding and the character development. It's just so well written.

🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Wow! As the second book in the Burning Kingdoms Trilogy, The Oleander Sword has exceeded my expectations. Tasha Suri maintains a relentless pace, keeping the characters off-balance and the plot unpredictable. The finale is set up to be explosive, and I can’t wait! Power is a main theme running through both The Jasmine Throne and The Oleander Sword. In the first book, the characters acted in pursuit of power. In the second, Malini, Priya, and Bhumika are faced with the sacrifices their new-found power requires. The author also expands on the themes of faith and destiny. Malini struggles to maintain the faith of her general, demands faith from Priya, and risks faith to form a new alliance. She holds the faith of her supporters by proving she, not her brother, is divinely chosen. It is her destiny to rule. But what if your destiny is part of a greater plan? How do you continue to have faith in your gods when you are a pawn in their own war for power? I expect we will see that war play out in the finale. ❓QOTD: What is your favorite trilogy or book series?

🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 Kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to read The Jasmine Throne, by Tasha Suri. But my delay worked out well, allowing me to read the first and second volumes of The Burning Kingdom Trilogy almost back-to-back. I love the arc of fantasy trilogies. Book one typically focuses on world building and character development with lots of rising action creating suspense for book two. The Jasmine Throne has all of that, but doesn’t hold back on the action. Suri keeps the plot moving at a swift pace, and carries the characters through personal journeys that leave them significantly changed at the end. The dominant theme throughout the book is power and the sacrifices necessary to achieve it. Each character pursues power through different means. Princess Malini is a strategist, acting as the mastermind behind the scenes to put her brother Aditya on the throne. Priya, a servant, sees power as a means of survival, and takes on an elevated role as a path to greater independence. Ashok, the rebel, claims power through targeted action and risk. Bhumika, the governor’s wife, stealthily builds her power through kindness and generosity, gaining loyalty from those in her service, while she quietly waits for opportunity. I loved the world created in this story and the complicated relationships between the characters. At the end, I felt incredibly lucky to have access to the sequel via @orbitbooks_us and @netgalley. Stay tuned for my review of The Oleander Sword tomorrow! ❓QOTD: Do you enjoy duologies and trilogies?

✨Heya everyone! ✨ For the first post post in my theme, I thought why not start with one of my tropes in books, and share some recommendations. This trope is very popular, and deservedly so. But I think enemies-to-lovers in fantasy is a whole other level of tension and entertainment! QOTD- What are some of your other favourite tropes in books? AOTD- I also really love found family. It’s so wholesome! For more details and reviews about these books, check out my blog posts.
