This is a sequel to “Meru” which about the protagonist's parents and the circumstances that led to Akshaya's unique hybrid biology I think you could read Loka as a stand alone novel but then you would miss out on how much her own mother Jayanthi is reflected in Akshaya character and how much her mother has to have grown to change her decision.
It was very readable and the changing environments and different challenges kept the pace. Warning there is a death of a loved character that I kept expecting to appear later by miraculous rescue but never came.
I enjoyed seeing how the book approached medical disability of Akshaya's sickle cell disease I also love the way S.B.Diva's engineering approach came in with the use of the breather masks to help Akshaya's crisis.
