Résumé
FINALIST FOR BEST FANTASY NOVEL IN THE AUREALIS AWARDSSHORTLISTED FOR THE ALDISS AWARD'Kavithri is gripping, raw and outrageous Indian-inspired steampunk fantasy with brutal world and compassionate main character' ? ? ? ? ?***Meet Kavithri. Outcast. Underdog. Survivor. Kavi is a Taemu. Her people, once feared berserkers and the spearhead of a continent-spanning invasion, are the dregs of Raayan society.
Their spirits crushed. Their swords broken. Their history erased. But Kavi has a dream and a plan. She will do whatever it takes to earn a place at the secretive mage academy, face the Jinn within its walls, and gain the power to rise above her station and drag her people out of the darkness. Except power and knowledge come at a cost, and the world no longer needs a Taemu who can fight. So they will break her.
Beat her down to her knees. And make her bleed. But if blood is what they want, Kavi will give them blood. She will give them violence. She will show them a berserker's fury. And she will make them remember her name. An no-holds-barred progression fantasy and empowering South Asian epic - featuring necromancers, djinn and visceral action sequences. An underdog story like no other, Kavithri is perfect for fans of Fonda Lee, Tamsyn Muir and John Gwynne.***'A richly detailed, darkly gritty world' Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Bone Eaters'[A] grim and relentless exploration of colonialism, power, resistance and courage' Samit Basu'Seamlessly packs South Asian lore and progression fantasy into a relentless rollercoaster' Gourav Mohanty'Raw and relentless...
I personally enjoyed [it] so much because of the parallels and similarities of this world to my culture, but also because of the characterization of the tour-de-force that is Kavithri' ? ? ? ? ?'I appreciated the rich Indian inspired world that has accurate depiction of poverty, oppression, raw portraits of colonialism and caste system .
