I read THE JASMINE THRONE by Tasha Suri a few days ago, and then read her Books of Ambha duology.
All of them are abslutely gripping fantasy that spins out these vast, beautiful worlds but makes the stories and stakes so deeply personal.
@vicorva A brown author? My gods, I need to get a handle on my reading list.
I'm especially excited to see a sequel to THE JASMINE THRONE. It's a stunning epic fantasy and has revived my long-lapsed love for the subgenre.
