Critics Review
“A novel that is tailor-made for lovers of contemporary fantasy, providing hope during hard times.” – James Gardner * Library Journal *
“Vaishnavi Patel’s first three novels featured more traditional takes on Hindu mythology, but in We Dance Upon Demons, she weaves that mythology into the present day in a way that amplifies the story’s themes and allows Nisha to better understand herself. The scenes at the abortion clinic are based on Patel’s own volunteer experience, and depict the gritty realism of life on the front lines of health care, including workers’ frustration and, at times, despair. But like Pandora’s box, the conclusion holds hope amid the horrors.” * BookPage *
