I didn’t really know what all the various bits of clothing of food were, and since I was listening to this on audio while my hands were busy, I couldn’t stop and Google stuff, so I just had to go along with the flow and imagine some gorgeous clothing and delicious food. It’s good for people who aren’t normally exposed to that sort of thing to start thinking outside of their narrow world view. I really liked how it had no reservations in using its #ownvoices to scatter the narrative with cultural references that I really didn’t understand. I was initially drawn to this because of its premise: an #ownvoices with Hindu mythology inspired by Stardust by Neil Gaiman, which is both an amazing book and film. There was nothing particular wrong with it, but it also didn’t sparkle for me. This is another book that for me, was just kind of in the middle. ©2020 Shveta Thakrar (P)2020 HarperCollins Publishers
