Status Updates From Kaikeyi

One thing I wasn’t expecting to find in this story is possible aro-ace representation. About the only mention of romance, physical intimacy, or even attraction is Kaikeyi pondering her disinterest in those topics. There’s even a half-demon nobleman who pops into her life at key moments, and no mention of a spark.

Love that this book is such a quick, though engaging read. I am not as familiar with the mythology, but that matters little. I am rooting for Kaikeyi.

For the last couple of months I’ve had trouble sitting down and reading, so I thought I’d get back to a genre that’s served me well in the past: young woman develops magical powers and smashes the patriarchy.
