Book Review - "The Jasmine Throne" by Tasha Suri

 

I'll admit that there were a few times that I wanted to just put away the book. It's not to say that there's anything wrong with the plot, characters or worldbuilding, but most parts of the story dragged out so much that the narrative in its entirety felt boring and tedious.

This in no way reflects on the author's crafting skills. In fact the writing was elegant and emotionally evocative and the world of magic was spun with dexterity. It's just that I couldn't get invested in any of the characters or even the sapphic romance. At times it just felt that the two main characters had spurious reasoning and suffered from a victim syndrome.
 
It gets 3.4 stars out of 5 from me.
