My Thoughts:

                The plot was very interesting and the book created this interest write from the beginning and was very well maintained throughout the book.

                The characters are well-developed and explained in deep. Their background is given in detail which tells us a lot about the character mind-set and their thinking process. This also justifies the way they behave and the way they have been moulded.

                The narration is well done and the places have been described well. The fictional town is created beautifully.

                The book cover could have been better. The title of the book is apt to the story.

                Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.

My Rating: 4/5

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.
