This doesn’t mean her strength of purpose is missing, just that it’s directed at exploring her past and helping others. She looks homely and rough, but she is softhearted at her core. It created a delightful push and pull between them that heightened their characterizations”ĭear Author gave this a rating of A-/A, saying “Priya is a magnificent character. I loved that they were wary of each other, that they struggled to open up and be vulnerable to each other. Where Priya has a soft heart and cares deeply about service and loyalty, Malini has vengeance in her soul and plays her role to perfection. My review: “Priya and Malini were something of a counterpoint to each other. As a matter of fact the book opens with a scene of immense bravery: Malini refusing to sacrifice herself on a pyre, thus letting the story unravel to feature two women who will continually cut each other and everyone else no matter how much they love each other as one seeks to gain a throne and the other seeks to rid her home of a terrible rot. But they’re both incredible and courageous women who will do what they must. They pricked and prodded at each other and the people around them, willing to draw blood. These two women endured so much during this book.
Priya keeps her magic hidden as she works as a servant in the palace, but that changes when Malini is sent to the Hirana, where she will stay until she dies, as she failed to do as her brother the Emperor commanded and climb the pyre to her death. The Jasmine Throne is the start to an Indian-inspired trilogy, where a priestess and a princess fall in love amidst all the thorns their respective empires pierce them with and their own ambitions and beliefs. Together, they will set an empire ablaze. The other a powerful priestess desperate to save her family. One is a ruthless princess seeking to steal a throne. When Malini witnesses Priya’s true nature, their destinies become irrevocably tangled. But in order to keep the truth of her past safely hidden, she works as a servant in the loathed regent’s household and cleaning Malini’s chambers. Title: The Jasmine Throne (The Burning kingdoms #1)Įxiled by her despotic brother, princess Malini spends her days dreaming of vengeance while imprisoned in the Hirana: an ancient cliffside temple that was once the revered source of the magical deathless waters but is now little more than a decaying ruin.
