Heart of Night and Fire

Heart of Night and Fire was an absolute delight to read! I couldn't put it down! I haven't explored many books with a fantasy theme rooted in an Indian/South East Asian perspective before, but now I'm hooked and eager to delve into more. Nisha did a fantastic job explaining the cultural and mythological aspects woven into the story. Even if there were a few things left unexplained, I found myself drawn to research them, adding an extra layer of enjoyment for me. That's the beauty of fantasy – you want to explore every nook and cranny of the world.

As for the romantic twist, I kind of saw it coming, but then again, I didn't! I had a hunch it would be significant, but boy, I wasn't prepared for THAT revelation!

I'm buzzing with excitement to dive into the next book. This one's definitely going on my recommendation list for friends. The fact that it's a quick read is a big bonus, but even with its brisk pace, it does an excellent job of immersing you in the story and making you care about what happens next!
