I first learned about this book on Twitter and I’m excited about this book. This is a wonderful way for me to learn more about East and South Asia folklore and mythology! I love learning about them, but I rather learn about them in novels, not in a dense book. It doesn’t help me if I learned that way.
I love the cover! It’s so beautiful. It’s hard to see on a computer screen but I am betting that it’ll pop out perfectly in person with the various pictures. I am hoping the end pages and the naked cover is equally beautiful as the cover.
Star-crossed lovers, meddling immortals, feigned identities, battles of wits, and dire warnings. These are the stuff of fairy tale, myth, and folklore that have drawn us in for centuries.
