Again, this book was okay.

I like how it doesn't feel so obvious who Esha's final love interest will be. Nice ambiguity.

Ngl, I'm still losing interest. I think I'll still read the next book, though.

After reading other reviews, I think it takes enjoying Hindu and Indian mythology to really enjoy this series.
