![]() ![]() There’s a very good chance this will be one of the best epic fantasy releases of 2022, and if you haven’t checked out the first book yet it’s very much worth the time. Suri’s deeply developed world is easy to get lost in, the magic system is as good as anything else out there (better, if you like a solid dose of body horror), and the themes of the story have thus far been both subtle and powerful. From what I’ve gleaned of The Oleander Sword, it’ll pick up right where The Jasmine Throne left off, with new factions vying for control of an empire crumbling beneath the weight of its own hubris. ![]() Tasha is the winner of the World Fantasy Awards 2022 for the best novel with The Jasmine Throne. She won the Best Newcomer Award from the British Fantasy Society (2019). The first book ended with some pretty huge shifts for our main characters, exiled imperial princess Malini and priestess Priya. Tasha Suri is the award-winning author of The Books of Ambha duology ( Empire of Sand and Realm of Ash) and the epic fantasy The Jasmine Throne. The Jasmine Throne was one part fantasy epic with a very cool nature-based magic system, one part slow burn sapphic romance, and one part morally grey lesbians burning down a pretty awful patriarchal system. I had the pleasure of reading it and it was magnificent. Tasha Suri began a new epic fantasy trilogy last year with The Jasmine Throne, which was inspired by Indian mythology and culture.
