Transflormation | |
| The Burning Kingdoms / int_1bb67d34 | comment |
Transflormation: The "rot" is a disease afflicting the Ahiranyi which causes plant matter to erupt from their skin. Partway through The Oleander Sword it becomes clear the rot is not affecting only Ahiranya, but the rest of Parajatdvipa as well. | |

Mystical Plague | |
| The Burning Kingdoms / int_4603ea49 | comment |
Mystical Plague: The rot is a mysterious disease that affects both crops and humans, turning them tree-like over time. In humans, this means they start turning partly to wood and leaves, which eventually kills them unless arrested by those with power over plants. Sacred wood also can slow but not stop it, so sufferers that can wear beads of this. | |

Royal Mess: General Vikram is regent in Ahiranya, a country that Parijatdvipan rules. However, the Parijati sovereign is Emperor Chandra, whom he answers to. A regent is the title of an official with temporary authority over the monarchy, but here he seems more like a viceroy, ruling on the monarch's behalf in a territory within his empire. | |

Feminist Fantasy | |
| The Burning Kingdoms / int_9f74002a | comment |
Feminist Fantasy: Both the novel's lead protagonists and most of the POV characters are women. All main drivers of the plot are women, often working against or without the knowledge of the men in the story. Malini, one of the protagonists, has rebelled against her brother, Emperor Chandra, after he ordered that she kill herself to become "pure" or be exiled, and he has very restrictive views on what women should do. She rebels further by embracing her lesbian sexuality, something her culture views as taboo, by becoming lovers with Priya, the other protagonist. | |

Heteronormative Crusader: The Parijati are homophobic, and outlawed same-sex marriage in Ahriyana when they came to rule there. Malini prefers women to men, and this made her impure in the eyes of her brother, Emperor Chandra, as he knew about this. She believes it's part of why he later ordered Malini to sacrifice herself, purifying her in his mind. After she refused, Chandra had her exiled instead. | |

Suicidal Sadistic Choice: In the opening chapter of The Jasmine Throne Chandra forces Malini and her companions to choose between burning to death or being his prisoners for life. They agree to burn, but she refuses and is imprisoned. Later in The Oleander Sword, as revenge for this and having drugged her into submission, Malini also gives Chandra poison, saying it's his choice to drink it and die then, or be slowly poisoned over many months before he finally dies. Chandra drinks the poison. | |
