The premise sounded super interesting and promised much deadly tension in a world inspired by the Mauryan Empire of Ancient India. And the start of this story was interesting enough, with two POVs that seemed explosive once the protagonists meet. However I had the feeling that the setup didn't pay out, and I kept waiting for the story to really start. I'm sad to say this was a 3/5 for me because I couldn't get hooked. Thank you @netgalley and @harpercollins for the eARC!

Gutes Buch mit interessantem Fantasy Setting

Die nur angedeutete Liebesgeschichte und die Einflüsse aus Sri Lanka haben mir am Besten gefallen.

Sehr typische Geschichte: Hexen die verfolgt werden, der König ist böse, sein Sohn will ganz anders sein... Was ok ist, wenn die Geschichte etwas Eigenes mitbringt. Das war hier leider nicht der Fall. Die Charaktere waren flach, und ihre Aktionen waren oft für mich nicht nachvollziehbar.

I liked seeing the character development and the more or less subtle hints on how "good people" become violent/can change but sadly I didn't care much about the story.
