What I liked about the book:

I liked the writing style of the author. All the characters are well developed and relatable.  The plot twists are exciting and unpredictable. The book is a delight to read and is an excellent fusion of mythology and politics. While retaining her strong hold on the hint of humor in the writing the author has also discussed some of the important topics such as the problems that youth face as also the problem that nation faces. The characters are such that they will stay etched in ones memory. The story just flows through that I wished the book would not end… Loved the relationship and the bond that Toya, Ollie, AJ, Goenka, Appy and Rahul share amongst themselves it would actually make anyone feel to be a part of the group and share such strong friendship.

What I didn’t like:

It was a little difficult for me to remember the acronyms. I wish there was a map that showed how the weapons actually looked on the map when they referred to the map.

Overall, the book was fantastic and it was refreshing to read it. Eager to read the 2nd part of the book. Hope it comes out soon.

My rating: 5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
