Actually laughed out loud at the title and also this is such a good list.
Oh do add the palace of illusions! It's by the same author as the forest of enchantments (chitra banerjee divakaruni) and is the female lead (draupadi) 's POV of the entire Mahabharata! Has a lot of talks about injustice and oppression.

Amazing! Iâm gonna add it thank you so much!
