What They're Saying
Critics Review
A richly detailed, darkly gritty world, and Kavi is such a compelling, sharp and original heroine * Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters on Kavithri *
A striking examination of class, caste, and colonialism by way of wondrously creative magic and an underdog you can’t help but root for * J.T. Greathouse, British Fantasy Award-nominated author of The Hand of the Sun King on Kavithri *
An impressive debut in every sense - this grim and relentless exploration of colonialism, power, resistance and courage will leave readers shaken * Samit Basu, author of The Jinn-Bott of Shantiport on Kavithri *
Kavithri isn’t your cozy bedtime story - it’s a brutal journey of a berserker, a journey that seamlessly packs South Asian lore and progression fantasy into a relentless rollercoaster * Gourav Mohanty, author of Sons of Darkness on Kavithri *
