Arnab Ray has delivered a complex plot simply, without any unnecessary complexities. He draws a detailed background, each place and setting adding to the tale, making it feel all too real. The characters bring this novel to life and the women are given equal strength and voice in the narrative. Fast paced and tight, the language and writing style is very Hinglish, with a lot of cuss words. This is a book waiting to become a full masala movie!

It was just sooo beautiful this morning, I had to take a picture with my #currentread. 🤓
After a long book slump I'm back to reading and what's better than paper. Plus isn't that cover gorgeous 😀 ❤️ 📑
80 pages into the book, I'm enjoying #kavitakane 's #LankasPrincess, the story of Surpanakha.

Latest addition to our bookshelf - If It's Monday It Must Be Madurai by #SrinathPerur. And the book has nothing to do with Madurai. I've met the author and I'm super excited to add this book to my shelves. Even though I haven't read it yet and technically this was bought by the husband. 😁
With a cover as lovely as that, I'm not letting mere technicalities come in the way. 😜

The title is a metaphor for the strength Shea must find in herself. I found the plot new and different, I haven‘t read a story like this before.
Shea‘s strength and will to fight was something I admired. Iron Goddess has a varied cast of characters and I enjoyed the diversity in the book.
Simple language makes for fast reading and the pace is fast too. Climax is good but unexpected & took me a while to accept.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read
