I don’t think I’ve ready any fantasy novel set in a world inspired by India before. This is a type of magic that I’ve rarely encountered before and which has definitely triggered my interest. Third, it is woven into objects to give them magical properties. Second, it needs to be transformed into a form that is safer to work with. First, the raw magic needs to be extracted from the soil (which is quite dangerous). Magic is mined as a natural resource and there are three specific skills needed in order to do so. I also greatly appreciated the magic concept, which felt really unique. It’s written in such a way that I almost felt that it was I who was lost in the jungle on a treasure hunt. I loved the world building and the fluent narration. The Ivory Key is the first book in a YA fantasy duology inspired by India. Together with her captain of the guard and her three siblings, she sets out on a mission filled with dangerous traps and riddles. To do so, she will require a legendary artefact, the Ivory Key, but she will not be able to retrieve it on her own. The Eldest sister, Vira, has recently become the new Maharani and knows that the only way to save the country is to find a new source of magic. Ashoka relies heavily on magic for the defense of its borders, but this mineral resource is now running out rapidly.
The Ivory Key tells the story of four royal siblings who have to find a way to put aside their differences and save their country.
