This might be the first Roshani Chokshi book I finished and wow, the hype is truly worth it.

I could wax poetry for the prose, it's the strongest point of this book. Every line flows beautifully and seamlessly, captivating the reader to keep going. If you're listening to the audiobook like I was, it's like the lull of a dream. I was just hooked.

The characters are mysterious: Indigo, Asher and the Bridegroom. It's fascinating to read about Indigo and Asher's bond over the years and see who Indigo is now and the secrets she is hiding. There was an element of mystery to the Bridegroom as well. I for one was completely invested in finding out what happened to his brother. 

As someone who loves myths and fairytales, this book is an ode to them. The book is magically charged and mentions os many tales, weaving them seamlessly into the narrative. The plot itself was so intriguing and I couldn't help but gasp at the revelations. I did figure out the main plot twist a few pages ahead of it and I'm keeping my lips sealed but it's kind of a trope I've seen around and although it's not my favourite, I think it worked beautifully for this book.

All in all this was an enchanting adventure and I can't wait to read more books by the author!
