a little i’d say. they do mention the main plot quite a lot, but other than a little confused, i dont think you’d be absolutely lost. although i do recommend reading passion first before reading raga since it shows tay’s pov on xinlu and why xinlu is so attached to him in the first place and why xinlu despises ilay so much. :>
Yeah, I started reading it thinking that it wasn’t attached to Passion though I couldn’t get myself to read Passion since I really find love angles annoying. Though I will say I am a bit lost when it comes to the mention of other characters in Passion but I just hope the story ventures away from Passion soon enough

Is it absolutely necessary for me to have read Passion before reading this? Will I be lost if I haven’t?
