First of a new epic fantasy series inspired by an ancient Sanskrit epic and Indian mythology, Upon a Burning Throne evokes the expansive world-building and complex twists of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance trilogy, and Ken Liu's The Dandelion Dynasty series.

I really, really loved this book. I‘ve been talking about it nonstop here, but I‘m gonna rave a little more. Based in Sanskrit and Indian mythologies, epic and sweeping, insightful and action-packed, this is what Fantasy is meant to be. I was immersed in a new world, filled with gods and gurus and princes and soldiers and strong women. I‘m so glad I randomly grabbed this at the library and I can‘t wait for the sequel next spring. 5👍🏼

I only have 300 more pages and this is normally where I end up bailing on #chunksters because I get bored. But! This story is just getting more intriguing and expansive and I don‘t want to put it down. I‘ve been momming with this open on my lap or tucked under my arm all day to sneak a sentence here and there, I‘m obsessed.

I know I keep talking about this book, but it‘s 600+ pages and I‘m not even at the halfway point, so get used to it! 😉

I came on here to say that this story is nutso in the best possible way, and I am SO IN LOVE.

Seriously, if you‘re looking for something truly original and fresh and mind bending and EPIC, give this one a try.

Oh. And it‘s the first in a series, so there‘s so much to look forward to.

Took advantage of a kid free morning to start this #chunkster and it‘s really good so far. Granted, I‘m on page 50 of 667, so it‘s a little early to tell but I‘m stoked so far!!
