___________
First of all, let’s understand the MEANING of the TITLE: YAKSHINI.
栗YA-SHINIS (याक्षिणी Sanskrit: yakṣiṇī)
-a class of nature spirits in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain religious mythologies that are different from devas (gods), asuras(demons), and gandharvas or apsaras (celestial beings).
栗Yakshinis and their male counterparts, the yakshas are one of the many paranormal beings associated with the centuries-old sacred groves of India.

What is MYTHOLOGICAL FICTION❓
MYTHOLOGY (from the Greek mythos for story-of-the-people, and logos for word or speech, so the spoken story of a people) is the STUDY AND INTERPRETATION OF OFTEN SACRED TALES OR FABLES of a culture known as myths.

The book came out in Oct. last year.

The Beautiful, attractive COVER is designed by Mugdha Sadhwani & illustration is by Onkar Fondekar.
I found it MESMERISING.

&

_____________
The story is divided into 4 parts;
1️⃣ The Sapling
2️⃣ The Blossom
3️⃣ The Seed
4️⃣ The Withering.
BIFURCATION is always better, to have a better grip, absorption & understanding of the read, I feel.
Plus it divides the read into different phases, as the story progresses.

Tbh I was ENCHANTED BY THE COVER & was expecting a nice mytho read but in the beginning..the PARANORMAL ANGLE, the DESCRIPTIVE NARRATION, the ADULT CONTENT & GROTESQUE SKETCH of the happenings, made me a bit uncomfortable.. but that was the 1st segment of the read only.
From the 2nd segment onwards, there was NO LOOKING BACK‼️
I THOROUGHLY THOROUGHLY ENJOYED the book, as the secret behind the happenings began to come to light & one by one things unfolded.
____________
Here’s the STORYLINE with/out spoilers-
