Thank you to the author and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I cannot believe more people aren't talking about Nisha and her books!! I am a HUGE fan of the first 2 Artefacts of Ouranos books, so I was thrilled that I got selected for an advance copy of Heart of Night and Fire. The South Asian mythology and culture in this book is unmatched!!! I love how the author put her own spin on a lot of mythology (I believe) the typical white reader won't know about. Reading on a Kindle was great because I could easily search terms that were unfamiliar to me.

The imagery was beautiful, and I adored the world building in this book. I did feel at times that there wasn't a clear direction, and sometimes it was difficult to keep up with the characters and the different types of characters. But this may be because I am unfamiliar with South Asian mythology, and so I love being stretched in this way! 

Cannot wait for more of her books to come out in the coming years!
