My Thoughts:

The characters are well written and well developed. The relationships are also well portrayed the feelings that Chandra Kanth goes through and the instant attachment he has with Sara is written very well. The readers would instantly feel sorry for CK and would hope that everything goes well with him and he actually gets the love from his father that he has craved for since his birth. The plot and the sequence of scenes has been carefully organised and keeps the element of curiosity remains intact till the end.

The main drawback of the book is editing. The book has some mistakes and grammatical errors. It needs to be re-edited otherwise it is a good book and the plot is also good.

My Rating:

3.5/5
