I can feel the slump coming. Enjoyed this a lot though, even if some arcs felt meaningless in the long run (Heist and Pilgrimage)

Not vibing with this book, honestly

Beachworld is mind numbingly boring

Onto The Raft!

Mrs. Todd's Shortcut- 1.5/5 dunno how it's fun to waste an hour listening to an old guy talk about hyperspace and wanting to get younger

Bara e toh chander pahar chilo for 70% of its running time. But the ending was really good. Prothom golpo ta ektuo mone nei, etotai forgettable chilo

Shikar- 4.5/5 Beautifully constructed. I love how Manoj Sen's protags are morally conflicted or downright evil as in this case. Bro had so many points where he could have turned back or been better and the ending just serves him right. Chilling, even if the horror is not so scary, a man writing his death is.

Indrayior Opare- I mean, the classical music sounded nice on Sunday Suspense. The mystery didn't excite me and the reveal didn't wow me. A very very mid tale. 1.5/5

Mayakanan- Fun story in the jungle and of memories past. The ending is open and weird and scary and COOL. 3.5/5

Anko Porikha- Uhm, wtf was that. The dad wakes up from his deathbed to discipline his son and then his dad wakes up to discipline him? Some generational trauma shit. 2/5

Nilanjanchaya- A romantic story with a thriller ending. The romance works for me. I get the longing and the regret. 3/5

Chuti Katalo Anupam- A good smart narrator story. Gets the girl in the end. Fun. 3/5

Kalratri- Bhaloi. Bhoy oto o lageni, Kintu atmosphere thik emon build koreche je eishob aloukik jinish hoche bishash hoy. Twist ta agei bujhe gechilam. 3.5/5
