This is a fantasy book about feminism!
Yes for real
I have never read another book like this and Nafiza Azad I love you so much foreverrr!
This is so incredibly unique
The story is about a group of young women who find each other because they have all survived sexist abuse of some kind. From this shared pain the literally have magic powers! I’ve only ever heard of something like this in various mythology.
The way the story is told is amazing! It goes back and forth between the MC’s POV, plural first person as the group and memories in the form of poems for each woman.
The most compelling thing about this book and Azads writing in general is the emotional depth, landscapes and transformation. The time she takes to develop the emotions is so rich. Wow
This would be my favorite fantasy if not my favorite book if there was just some plot tweaks. I would flip around a few plot points at the end, somethings need more development as well. I found this in Azad’s other books as well
Made Azad one of my all time favorite authors. I can’t emphasize enough the impact this book has on me
