With Easter fast approaching, this month of April presents some egg-cellent new releases that once again have me egg-cited. So, before these Easter puns become eggs-hausting or crack me up, you can check out my most anticipated releases below:
Just JJ’s top pick:
Title: Kaikeyi
Author: Vaishnavi Patel
Genres: Fantasy; Historical
First impression: It is about time 2022 gave us a strong fantasy book about dismantling patriarchy!
Despite her auspicious birth and position as the only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, Kaikeyi lives each day being ignored by her father and the gods she heard about growing up. When a bid for independence leads Kaikeyi to discover a magic that is hers alone, things suddenly start looking up. Finally, she is armed with enough power to carve out a better world for herself and the women around her. Yet, it seems that Kaikeyi’s newly forged path clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her. She must decide if resisting the will of gods is worth the destruction it will wreak.
