    About this audiobook

    Two princes, Shvate and Adri, are born in Hastinaga, capital of the vast Krushan empire-one blind, the other albino. Though one cannot see, and the other cannot face sunlight, the Dowager Empress Jilana and Prince Regent Vrath assure their people and allies that all will be well. Any rumblings of dissent are summarily quashed and none dares challenge the might of the Burnt Empire. But when Jarsun of Reygistan's daughter is spurned by the ruling family despite her legitimate claim to the Throne, Jarsun-a powerful demonlord-embarks upon a relentless campaign to destroy the Burnt Empire. and all who stand in his way.

      I really enjoy this type of complex storytelling that is rooted in the culture of the author. Based on the Mahabharata, which is a celebrated Indian epic, Banker has definitely done a good job of immersing me in the world; of crafting characters that span characteristics and behaviours. Th use of the supernatural and the natural worlds as part of the development of story and plot, the pacing of the action and repercussions of certain choices and the resulting consequences, the political intrigue and machinations also heighten the reading experience and drama.

      My only gripe is the instances of overwriting that comes with certain conversations and interactions.
