The Ivory Key
The Ivory Key | Akshaya Raman
6 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
In this epic YA fantasy debut, magic, a prized resource, is the only thing between peace and war. When magic runs out, four estranged royal siblings must find a new source before their country is swallowed by invading forces. The first in an Indian-inspired duology thats perfect for fans of There Will Come a Darkness, The Gilded Wolves, and We Hunt the Flame. Vira, Ronak, Kaleb, and Riya may be siblings, but they've never been close or even liked each other that much. Torn apart by the different paths their lives have taken, only one thing can bring them back together: the search for the Ivory Key, a thing of legend that will lead the way to a new source of magic. Magic is Ashoka's biggest export and the only thing standing between them and war with the neighboring kingdomsas long as their enemies don't find out that the magic mines are nearly depleted. The siblings all have something to gain from finding the Ivory Key, and even more to lose if they don't. For Vira, the Ivory Key is the only way to live up to the legacy of her mother, the beloved former maharani. Ronak plans to get out of his impending political marriage by selling the Ivory Key to the highest bidder. Kaleb has been falsely accused of assassinating the former maharani, and this is the only way to clear his name. And Riya needs to prove her loyalty to the Ravens, the group of rebels that wants to take control away from the maharani and give it to the people. With each sibling harboring secrets and conflicting agendas, figuring out a way to work together may be the most difficult task of all. And in a quest this dangerous, working together is the only way to survive.

Pickpick

The first half was very slow... to the point where i probably would have bailed if it hadn't been a christmas gift. The characters all seemed self centered and annoying. Fortunately the second half did pick up the pace enough for a low pick

Mehso-so

OwlCrate January pick! I loved the characters in this one and the family dynamic. However, I would have loved more context into the history of the world, Ashoka. Details were just sprinkled throughout when relevant, and it got confusing. Overall, I‘d give it 3/5 stars, and it was one of the better OwlCrate books I‘ve received.
