The Jasmine Throne Book one of the Burning Kingdoms

Set in a fictionalized version India full of its epics and legends, are two women who will change the world as they know it. Malini is imprisoned by her dictator brother, for not falling in line, and is planing her revenge. Priya is a maidservant, who sneaks in to attend to Malini, and hides who, or rather what, she truly is. When Malini discovers Priya's secret their fates interwine and together they set the empire ablaze. If you love morally grey lesbians, who want to burn down the world and burn for each other, then this will be your new favorite trilogy.

If you like a romance sub-plot, political fantasies, a rather subtle magic system or rich world-building then this book is definitely for you! The characters are more than just amazing. The world feels so rich and real and the writing style is just beautiful! The world feels very flowery (I mean look at the map that is shaped like a flower) but it is not a feel good book but rather deals with serious issues such as death, slavery and dictatorship. The characters are all morally grey but in the best way possible. It's genuinely amazing and I highly highly recommend this book
