What's better than a queer, desi woman in a sari on the cover of an #ownvoices fantasy anyway 💁🏽

Love how this adult fantasy book, which isn't even out yet, has already been shelved as YA by several people on Goodreads.
What exactly does a female author have to do in order for her books to be considered adult fantasy, apart from writing under a male or gender-neutral pseudonym?

I was extremely lucky to bag an early draft of The Jasmine Throne, and I can honestly say it's fantastic. Yes, it still needs an edit, but the core of the story is there and it is spectacular. It's everything you love about a Tasha Suri book AND THEN SOME.
Exhilarating worldbuilding and magic systems, genuine threat and moments of horror, colonialism and resistance, monstrous people doing monstrous things for good reasons.

Tasha Suri has written two phenomenal books and I am freaking excited to read this, too.
this has an f/f enemies to lovers romance featuring 'a captive, vengeful princess and a priestess hiding as a maidservant' in an Indian inspired adult high fantasy and I am very excited!! (also they're vicious morally grey lesbians so i am already in love)
the tropes used (from the author's twitter): 'enemies to lovers (well, 'reluctant allies to lovers'), it's all about the yearning™, wet sari scene, secret identities, tragic pasts, ReVENGE, the imperialist patriarchy is bad actually, burn it al ...more

Guys. This book is published by Orbit, an adult publisher. Just because it’s sapphic, just because it’s written by a WoC does not make it YA.
