I'm most of the way through the first one which is mostly okay except for: Sita being Indian, but having pale skin and blonde hair doesn't sit well with me AT ALL. This is what put me off last time. I don't know if Indian people who look like that exist or ever did, but it makes me feels uncomfortable, esp because it's coming from a white author.

Other than that, there's a couple of lines that haven't aged well but for the most part it's okay? As long as you can take Sita being all powerful and able to Do All The Things! with no problem because she's 5000 years old (this kind of irks me, but at least she's not angsting her way through the story, I guess?)

I loved Remember Me! I have a copy of it, but I don't think I've read it since I was a teenager. Did you ever read the sequels to it?
