[Derryn Theresa Theresa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book out of curiosity but what beautiful language. Very well researched and captivating story. Some chants sounded so real I felt too scared to read parts of it. I am truly astonished by the story. Definitely would recommend Malayalam literature enthusiasts to read this. Should be studied alongside classics like Crime and Punishment.
