Again I think this is where she lacks in writing imo...The guy's thoughts are filled with sexual thoughts mostly while the girl is experiencing pure emotions. Also once her characters kiss, things go from 0 to 100 without giving much time for the characters to talk things out or understand eachother better. The hesitation is gone, the meaningful conversation is gone and all we get is descriptive PDA. Makes it boring.

Again idk how but I just seem to binge read Lynn Painter books lol...she does write with the exact amount of tension that keeps you turning pages. So far Damian's POV is good...better than Wes

Okay now The Toms sound like F4 from Boys over Flowers...and the whole situation with Damion and Julia feels like it fell of a 2010s Kdrama script...what is Lynn Painter cooking?

One question tho...what is wrong with the names? Damion and Donovan...what is this...some parallel universe for SpyxFamily lol

Picked up this book for some unknown reason lol...BTTM was good by all means but Wes's POV and NLTM was just not it...I thought she does not know how to write a guy's pov. But this one seems fine so far. her writing style is very different from my preferred one...more fantastical and hollywood-ish. But so far I'm enjoying the book.

THIS! This is how you write characters! She was already falling for Milo but she kept herself in check and did not act on those feelings recklessly while being in relationship with Connor. Only when she goes though the whole spiral and somewhat breaks up with Connor is when she lets those feelings show...Same for Milo! He also only lets it slip after she's supposedly done with Connor. Emma Lord never disappoints!

Okay! first of all, Emma Lord! She writes so well...I love her writing! Initially I was hoping Adie does not turn up like Tara from 'Lallan Sweets'. But ofc not! this is Emma Lord! So we start to see the complex past of Andie and Connor, also our girl is in denial about her feelings for Milo...rightfully so! I believe before anything actually happens she will wrap it up with Connor...fingers crossed!

I want to vouch for the writer to rewrite the NCERT history books. The kids need to know the reality. I remember feeling unattached to all the stories of invaders fighting each other for our land and money, oh if they had taught us the real history. The valor of Maharana Kumbha and Sangha, Maharana Pratap being the unparalleled greatest King in Indian History but being overshadowed by a mlelchcha Akbar is beyond me.

The fact that Maharana Kumbha never lost any battle but still let Mahmud Khilji go each time was such a waste of lives and resources...I'm glad everyone noticed this too (all the authors of cited sources as well). Veer Savarkar calling it 'Sadgun Vikruti'...lol I'll remember this term forever. Also quoting Shri Krishna from Mahabharata saying 'Kill deceitful by deceit' was literally a message from the divine himself.

I like how the writer did not overlook the shortcomings of some of the rulers...like the lust that overcome Rana Lakha when he accepted the marriage proposal initially sent for his son even in old age. But this also shows no human is perfect...all of us have some shortcomings.

I literally cried reading the brutal end of Hammir Dev Chauhan and his family. It is so easy to read and imagine but I cannot fathom the reality of such an atrocity. Also Maharani Padmini's sacrifice always tears me up but also fills me with so much strength. She is exactly what SHAKTI or Devi means in Hindu scriptures.

My fav part was when the two sisters (daughters of Dahir), Surya Devi and Premala Devi, who had been presented as sex slaves to the Caliph, tricked the Caliph into believing that Muhammad bin Qasim has violated them before sending them. This made the Caliph angry and he killed Qasim of suffocation. They secured retribution for their father's death as well as their own disrespect.

Only read the preface and I'm glad I picked a non-fiction after all the hell I went through bcs of Tella and Tara. This book speaks for the real history and real heroes of our land whose stories had been falsified and distorted throughout years. I love how irritated the writer sounds bcs that is the emotion which I feel when I think how we have been brainwashed all these years.

What the actual hell is this book!! This NOT Indian culture esp not so in 1995 and oh god the way they advertise it on social media...it just seems like a bollywood fantasy of western world in Indian scenario with indian characters. IMPOSSIBLE in reality and honestly just WTH!
Never thought I would have a 1 star read!

What!? Suddenly this book became a thriller...and I was right about the bollywood thing...this story is so far from reality that it can only be a movie. I'm not liking their love story either...and the part that infuriates me the most is when Nikku says "you didn't carry those pots on your head bcs you chanted Krishna's name"...GO ARGUE WITH THE WALL NIKKU!! 🙄😂

yup definitely not enjoying it...also what is wrong with me coming across such obnoxious fmls these days (first Tella now Tara)...she is on a trip with her childhood crush and starting to develop feelings for him again all while having bf bruh...also I feel like Indian culture is not shown properly in this book. It's like any other bollywood movie where characters are indian but living in some western dream world.

Its interesting but not captivating enough. I hope she doesn't cheat on her bf no matter how obnoxious he is.

Oh god I'm so done with this girl...she is so freakin scandalous...i feel bad for the guys when actually readers are supposed to feel bad for her instead...even jacks being a typical fate is better than her in my opinion...she is so blinded by lust that she is the reason for all the problems between her Jacks and Legend.

The book is getting pretty interesting. I love how we are getting to discover all the Fates. Also the mention of Tella's daughter having a fatal weakness was something shocking lol...I love when the story surprises me or makes me keep turning the pages to know all the uncertain characters...tho I have to say the book has gone so very dark...it doesn't feel like a fairytale like it did in the first book.

Now its getting interesting...although Tella is still not redeemable for me...Legend has become more interesting...but I have to say the story has taken a very dark tone...In the first book immortal Legend felt like a fairytale and magic but now its too dark with fates never being able to fall in love...too many possibilities of deaths...its become very dark tbh

Oh now I dislike Tella sm...idt she can redeem herself in my eyes now ...Legend now seems much better to me.

Oh Julian and Scarlett have my heart. They're just so freakin cute lol

Wow the whimsical atmosphere is back...and now finally I'm enjoying Tella and Legend's story.

Initially I wasn't intrigued by Tella or Dante and frankly still I don't get their love story lol...their interactions are the least interesting parts of the plot. Tella also seems to be pretty dumb and the way mysteries are solved in this book is pretty bland. But I'm enjoying the main plot esp when the Fates are involved. Jacks is by far my fav character in this book. I wish there was more of Scarlett and Julian.

Omg this book is insane...I love the whole uncertainty of it. You never know what will come next. And my prediction of Julian being Legend was so wrong lol...but I'm loving this guessing game. Also I don't think Tella would just be waiting for her sister to rescue her. She doesn't seem like the type. I love Scarlett and her character development. Idk why people didn't like her.

WTH!! I was right lol...I'm loving the developments. I just could not put the book down. I wonder why some people didn't like the book. Or maybe its too early to judge that?

At first, I thought maybe Julian is Legend. I still have doubts about him but the love angle of the book till now doesn't seem very interesting (to me personally). But the game is very intriguing.

Wow the world building and writing style is wonderful. I love the uncertainty of everything and want to see how Scarlett grows through it.

I feel like Mr. RN Kao's life was such a rollercoaster to be honest. He was an integral part of Indian intelligence for 4 wars and all the consequent developments. Huge respect to all the unknown people.
