THE JASMINE THRONE attempts a lot, and it accomplishes a lot. I was excited to pick it back up each day and am sad it’s over…until the sequel comes out at least.
For me the mark of a great book is one I need to read, and I needed to read THE JASMINE THRONE. The words simply flow like water, strong in their delicacy but burning images into your mind. How do you even begin to talk about a book like this? I feel like I should try and say something poetic to match the lush prose of the novel. Together, they will change the fate of an empire. The other is a priestess seeking to find her family. One is a vengeful princess seeking to depose her brother from his throne. She is happy to be an anonymous drudge, so long as it keeps anyone from guessing the dangerous secret she hides.īut when Malini accidentally bears witness to Priya’s true nature, their destinies become irrevocably tangled. Priya is a maidservant, one among several who make the treacherous journey to the top of the Hirana every night to clean Malini’s chambers. Imprisoned by her dictator brother, Malini spends her days in isolation in the Hirana: an ancient temple that was once the source of the powerful, magical deathless waters - but is now little more than a decaying ruin.
