A review by kkvasudev
The Ivory Key by Akshaya Raman
4.0
Really rich world building in this book. As an Indian American, I can definitely see the influences of Indian mythology and culture here and also love that the world is its own distinct place. So kudos to the author for that.
The book was definitely a slow start, and I don't say that as a criticism. I really enjoyed getting to know each of the siblings and hope their frames and memories of their parents shaped who and where they were. It made the middle of the story so much better because it was not just a quest but also a reunion of a splintered family.
Excited for the second book to come out this year.
