Becoming educated on this Hindu mythological retelling is really lovely! (: The sensual and metaphorical writing is really complimentary to the myth, I feel! My only gripe with this book, at this point, is how hyperbolic the love story (which unfortunately didn’t end up being a lesbian romance like I previously assumed) is. The characters are annoying me, and I’m sad because that makes me less invested with them.

I fear that my time for reading is diminishing, but am enjoying this book when I am actively engaging with it (:

There is already lesbian yearning in this book, and wow is it so tender given the backstory between the two celestial beings!! (:
