After The Ten Thousand Doors of January
The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri
If you fell for The Ten Thousand Doors of January because it turned prose into portals and made belonging feel like an act of rebellion, The Jasmine Throne offers that same intoxicating mix—two women wielding forbidden magic against an empire's rot, where identity is claimed in whispers and love between women rewrites the rules. This is fantasy for readers who want their escapism laced with grit, their magic steeped in cultural myth, and their heroines flawed enough to feel real.
