Kavithri: A dark and gritty epic fantasy – shortlisted for the Aurealis and Aldiss Awards: Ghosts of Ethuran
Autor Aman J. Bedien Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mai 2024
Meet Kavithri. Outcast. Underdog. Survivor.
Kavi is a Taemu. Her people, once feared berserkers and the spearhead of a continent-spanning invasion, are the dregs of Raayan society. Their spirits crushed. Their swords broken. Their history erased.
But Kavi has a dream and a plan. She will do whatever it takes to earn a place at the secretive mage academy, face the Jinn within its walls, and gain the power to rise above her station and drag her people out of the darkness.
Except power and knowledge come at a cost, and the world no longer needs a Taemu who can fight. So they will break her. Beat her down to her knees. And make her bleed.
But if blood is what they want, Kavi will give them blood. She will give them violence. She will show them a berserker's fury.
And she will make them remember her name.
An action-packed and empowering South Asian fantasy epic. An underdog story like no other - Kavithri will remind you of fantasy heroes like Arya Stark and Gideon the Ninth.

Recenzii
Kavithri is majestic: a pacy, visceral tale . . . powered by a heroine with lashings of charm and grit in equal measure. Captivating, exhilarating, funny and brutal, this book will be massive, and deservedly so
The worldbuilding and character work is absolutely stunning, and it keeps a joyous tone even when it goes to some very dark places. Steampunk Desi fantasy meets Neon Genesis Evangelion
A vivid and brutal world leaps off the page
An exhilarating ride through a vivid and violent world, Kavithri is simultaneously brutal, triumphant, and astounding. I absolutely loved it!
With Kavithri, Aman J. Bedi presents a striking examination of class, caste, and colonialism by way of wondrously creative magic and an underdog you can't help but root for
Aman has created such a richly detailed, darkly gritty world, and Kavi is such a compelling, sharp, and original heroine. Kavithri is dark academia, but with a raw and bloodied edge to it
An impressive debut in every sense - this grim and relentless exploration of colonialism, power, resistance and courage will leave readers shaken
A masterfully detailed epic adventure in a lush, vibrant setting
Kavithri isn't your cozy bedtime story - it's a brutal journey of a berserker, a journey that seamlessly packs South Asian lore and progression fantasy into a relentless rollercoaster
Magic, science fiction and Indian culture mingle freely in Aman J. Bedi's ambitious debut novel
I love this book. It creeps up on you in your blind spot and kicks you in the teeth. If you like your fantasy with a side order of gore, this one's for you. Kavi is the sort of heroine you can't help but root for, and the world building is incredible and organically done. The end had me in a chokehold and one more chapter turned into the birds singing outside-now, I'm hanging out for book two
A great debut novel with captivating development, journey, and satisfying ending
An excellent debut, an explosive story about a character fighting against a stacked deck
A very fun action focused fantasy that lovers of pace, action and fighting will delight in
