This book was devastating, hopeful, tender, and so beautifully written. I was unable to put it down after 40% and ate the last 60 in one bite, crying throughout with tears both mournful and filled with inspiration. This book is brilliant, and I'm both stunned and thrilled that Vaishnavi managed to unseat Kaikeyi as my favorite.

"Ten Incarnations of Rebellion" turned out to be a fantastic mix of alternative-history, colonial resistance, and deep friendship, topped off with a dash of Hindu mythology to tie the narrative together. I was able to enjoy this within a span of just a few days.
