Fellas, is it gay to abandon your empress for her ex-prince brother, walk halfway across the continent to join him on the battlefield, wrestle him to the ground while sparring, for him to dream about you, to embrace him as he murmurs into your hair, and announce he is your destiny?

Omg. Oh my fucking god.
Priya and Malini fighting? Reunifying? Priya’s burning sword is terrifying me. And the branches separating them. **nerve endings bursting in joy and terror**
Of course there’s no mention of Bhumika which made me die inside a little…justice for my young mama who tried to hold her kingdom together with both hands… 😭
@camreadsum I’m in the excitement phase, analytical phase to follow shortly 🤣

Tasha Suri writes some of the best complex female relationships I’ve ever read. Of course there’s the romantic relationship between Malini and Priya with all its complexities- they’re both using each other but love and really know each other at the same time. but equally as important to the story is Priya’s relationship with Bhumika- they love each other but were hardened by their childhood and being the last of the temple children and don’t always know how to express their love for each other as sisters and they argue. Priya and Sima’s friendship is also so wholesome and great and has really become more complex in book 2 with the tension between Sima wanting to pass through the waters vs. Priya trying to protect her. Then there’s Malini’s relationship with Narina and Alori, they’re always haunting Malini and the narrative. I’m excited to see how Malini’s relationships with her court develop too. Overall 1000/10 I’m really enjoying Oleander Sword so far I’m ~100 pgs in. everyone stream the burning kingdoms series

There's so much that's good about the Oleander Sword. Getting to see Malini's pov while she is at her full abilities is probably my favorite, getting to see her scheme and manipulate, win battles and overcome political opposition, it's such a joy. But overall it's such a hard book to finish bc there's this building dread everywhere you look with no escape. In the Jasmine Throne things start bad and end with revolution and hope. In the Oleander Sword things start with hope and then get grimmer and grimmer as that hope is worn away and new overwhelming problems present themselves. And it's so well written and so interesting but emotionally it's just such a slog rn ;-;

Questions I have after reading The Oleander Sword:
Do the other priests really think Malini should not burn now that Malini claimed Karthik said she must live to fight the Yaksa?
Why is Mani Ara so into Priya? And yes, I mean in all ways.
Why does the Hirana respond to Priya more than any other temple child/elder? (Probably same answer as 2?)
Malini refused to burn and was allowed not to. Why didn't Alori and Narini refuse too?
Malini says her room door unlocked on the Hirana when Priya was fighting Meena. Why did the Hirana do that?
Does Rao know he is in love with Aditya and does Aditya know? Malini says/thinks in a chapter that she isn't going to mention something to Rao that he himself isn't aware of, after a mention of his feelings for Aditya, so does he??
How does Rao know about Malini's preference? I assume he knows given the odd emphasis on 'friends' when he speaks to Priya at Veri. Book 1 says Rao and Malini met for first time for real after Chandra became emperor, which seems recent. How did he figure this out so fast?
Bhumika says no debt Jeevan owes her requires him to accompany her to the thing with Ashok. What debt does Jeevan owe?
What were Sima and Lata talking about when Priya approached them on morning of battle at Harsinghar?
What was the point of the chapter where Swati decides to learn archery? Setup? Badass moment? Someone sneaked into Malini's tent?
Is Varsha and her baby going to be a problem? She seemed not-naive when talking about what she could do for her family via her marriage.
What's in Alor, Bhumika??
Will we ever get a geographical map of the world in the series? (Please Ms. Suri)

A hundred pages into the Oleander Sword and while the box full of Malini's unsent love letters feels like a political scandal time bomb waiting to go off, god damn this is the sappiest most romantic shit I've read in a hot minute.
Of course I sought out grand tales. I do not like my own ignorance. And those tales were the ones that made you. Don't you realize I want to know everything about you? That even now, when I should have forgotten you, all I desire is to know your heart better than my own?
It galls me that I want you as much as this. That my heart so thoroughly belongs to you. The power you have over me, Priya. Why does it refuse to fade?
Priya meanwhile can't consistently keep a simple metaphor together in conversation. What a lovely pair of poet empress and magic jock. Please let her read at least one of Malini's letters.

Just finished The Oleander Sword, the sequel to The Jasmine Throne and I may never know happiness again.
Seriously, it's like Tasha Suri dissected my brain, found my favourite angsty tropes, and put them all into a single series with amazing worldbuilding feat. fucked up cool religions and gods. It's some good shit.
