I NEVER FELT SO GIDDY OMG

CHAT, OUR FOUND FAMILY IS UNITED!!! ugh the satisfaction i felt when Taara meets Bhediya, Roland, and Akio is everything. all that’s left now is finding Garjan since he did went out to find Roland in the beginning. I SWEAR THIS BOOK IS SO FUN TO READ THAT I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M 3 CHAPTERS AWAY FROM ENDING IT

WAIT i love seeing Taara-Payal-Garjan’s dynamic so badly. i really need them to unite with Bhediya & Roland/Yash for the complete found family extravagance. nevertheless, an army who bares sacrifice in front of Ontorom’s statue & then reawakens as if possessed? the Queen of Nandapore is ab*sed by the Emperor & had to get to the temple to get it aborted? Zamu’s betrayal? Taara’s vessel power? it’s bonkers

“when the queen comes for you, dont turn your hand away, you two are like puzzles” is Chitra referring to Taara? because if she does then i’m guessing this is where we’ll see the peak of our 4 important characters getting together to see through the end of this.

Taara & Payal getting more & more steamy.. yall this is insane. i didnt know sapphic was gonna eat this badly but ykw?! WE CHEER. what’s more exciting is Taara’s power manifesting from the goddess of Yusara & with the attack on Garjan who’s possessed by Ontorom i believe(?) is fire. she’s slowly coming into being a queen & Bhediya too with her shapeshifting wolf power being tested

talk about corrupted kingdoms cause wherever you go? there’s ALWAYS something going on. ngl, imagining it in person is lowkey scary bcs what we’re dealing here is not a simple deceit but a power that’s stemmed since ancient times that ties to people who have shreds of powers/elvenkinds. Garjan is under spells, Roland is chosen as the vessel of goddess, Bhediya on the run, Taara a helpless queen, CHILE

Garjan & Taara being kept as prisoners inside the Samjaya kingdom with guards of Sanamiri elves is pretty freaking scary. the spice between Taara & Payal tho? oh baby.. i’m gagged as hell. this would be my first written witness of an WLW thing going on 🥵 but what interests me the most is Bhediya & how she’ll play a big role in the immense power she possesses. sum tells me shes gonna have an insane lore

now Taara is being sent to Samjaya with Garjan to pay the Emperor a visit & Taara’s uncle said that things are changing and Abhaya needs to be able to defend itself as troubles are looming with the elvenkind posing somewhat a “thread” to their city, when their city has never been at war & never has an army. each character’s POV provides such intriguing insights yall

Bhediya being one of the girls that has magic running in her veins is definitely a key important role to whatever it is that’ll unfold in Nandapore & whatever tales are bout to unfold with the power-hungry king. the point isn’t clear just yet between the diff POVs of these characters but i’m intrigued!
