I gave this book a three star rating as i loved the first half of the book when you got Maya who cursed by this horrible horoscope and her father is arranging for a marriage for her but then tells her she should just kill herself that would be the easiest way to handle it. Then she gets rescued by the dreamy Amar and it kind of gets confusing after that. I think what my problem probably was is i not very well versed in Indian mythology i finally got what i think the point of the story was but it did take some thinking on my part to get it. The author does a great job painting the scenery and describing what going on i loved the horse that kept wanting to eat Maya in the last half of the book.
