The Oleander Sword

This is about a strong (and angry) woman taking a stand against a man who abuse women.

(As a side note: my personal complaint is that I don't like this version of (feminist) agenda when it's answered with "it takes a monster to defeat a monster".)

This is also about the love between Manila and Priya. And it's about the dark magic of the fire of mothers and the yaksa. And more than anything it's sooo much dialogue between disagreeing people not really getting anywhere.

The pacing is bad and I had to speedread the final 40% to get through it. I really loved the first book, though, but tbh I'm not sure I'll complete the trilogy.
