Sultana’s Dream is such an original, engaging piece of speculative fiction, and I really enjoyed how it managed to blend thoughtful social critique with humour. 

Padmarag is also a fantastic social critique, and an important contribution to the history of anti-colonial, feminist thought, but I did have some issues with it narratively-speaking. There were quite a few instances where a bunch of backstory and important information about the characters was dumped on the reader all at once, rather than being woven into the story, which I found a little jarring. It was still an engaging story, but those moments took me out of it a bit.
