"Set in a world inspired by historical India, The Jasmine Throne begins a sweeping new epic fantasy trilogy in which a captive princess and a servant in possession of forbidden magic become unlikely allies--and eventually, much more than allies--on a dark journey to save their empire. Imprisoned by her tyrannical brother, Malini spends her days in isolation in the Hirana: an ancient temple that was once the source of the powerful, magical deathless waters -- but is now little more than a decaying ruin. Priya is a maidservant, one among several who make the treacherous journey to the top of the Hirana every night to clean Malini's chambers. She is happy to be an anonymous drudge, so long as it keeps anyone from guessing the dangerous secret she hides. But when Malini accidentally bears witness to Priya's true nature, their destinies become irrevocably tangled. One is a vengeful princess seeking to claim a throne. The other is a priestess seeking to find her family. Together, they will change the fate of an empire"--… (plus d'informations)

This was BRILLIANT. Brilliant as in bright - the fires within this book burn hot and bright, burn brilliantly.

Things I loved:
- MORALLY GREY LIKE I'VE NEVER READ BEFORE, the absolute greyest of morally grey characters.
- BAD ASS GIRLS
- love love love most of the POV characters
- Interesting world and setting

Things I liked:
- BURNING
- I wanted to KNOWWW, I NEEDED TO KNOW EVERYTHING
- questions I had were answered and it was so satisfyinggggg
- Interesting cast, and small enough that made it easy to keep track of who's who and actually get to connect with everyone.
- different POV's but you don't have to wait long to go back and see whats happening to everyone.

Things I didn't love:
- about half way through I wasnt super sure where the plot was going and it felt a bit stuck but then, BAM! Action! So if you're stuck in the middle, just keep reading, it gets fucking awesome. ( )

What a book!!! Omg. I can’t think of a single critique it was just absolutely a work of art. Complex characters layered in moral grey depth. A insanely well thought out magic system with easy to follow lore and history. A plot that twisted and turned and left me on the edge of my seat. Although it was over 500 pages it never once dragged or lulled. And despite the constant switching of character POVs and the multitudes of such each felt so distinct that I was never lost nor confused. A new favorite ( )

Be still, my elemental, queer heart! This book is sexy, deep, mythological and compelling. The thing I love so much about this first installation is how deep we go within the characters and what drives them... a battleground between good and evil where I'm not quite sure for which side I should be rooting, all slowly unraveled in some of the most beautiful prose I have ever read in a fantasy series. *fans self* I can't wait to see where Malini and Priya take us, and each other, next!

READ IT! ( )

Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me. I just didn't feel like I connected to the characters or the story a lot. There was a lot of set-up and explaining the politics in the beginning (probably the first 1/3 of the book it seemed like it took awhile to get going) so that may have been part of it. It is all important and I'm wondering/hoping that future books will draw me in more now that a lot of the background has been laid. I did like that everyone had their flaws and bad characteristics which where acknowledged. Not a wow but not bad - I will continue to read the series as it comes out. ( )

Enjoy the environment of the book. Like the relationships of the main characters. The movement of the story was a little slow for me. Did not know it was a 2 part book till the end and was disappointed. Due to the slowness of the story, I will not read book 2.
I am not a Fantasy book reader. I enjoyed that I did not have to refer to maps or character pages. ( )
