I'm always desperate for a good fantasy book diving into Hindu mythology. I want to both educate myself and immerse myself into this world. The Legend of Meneka has this worldbuilding and mythology to perfection. And the writing style is truly mesmerizing - as I am used to with the author. It's a story of empowerment and identity, and it bleeds through every page.
However, as with Rao's previous books I read, the weak point for me are the characters. Though they are fleshed out, I still always found myself detached from them. Despite the look into their thoughts and emotions, I just could not connect. Their character arc and the romance is good on paper, but does not transport onto the page. As I am drawn into books by characters mostly, sadly this story overall wasn't for me. 3,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @harpercollins for the eARC! #LegendOfMeneka #Netgalley #Bookstagram
