If there won’t come a little suspense soon, I’ll cry. Don’t like the book at all up to this point. I like the shorter chapters and the mundane storyline but yooo, this is taking forever and I only have about 100 pages left. I don’t know how to think about this.

So far, I don‘t particularly enjoy the book, it is too slow paced for me. What I do like, is the depiction of characters, multi-leveled characters with human features is kinda refreshing, though nothing outstanding. I‘m excited to read along.

I‘m already hooked. The tension mixed with the pace and multi-level development makes the characters actually human, including human desires and fears. It‘s mesmerizing :)

So far, Mr. Alam has an interesting writing style that I‘m not used to but very intrigued by. Can‘t wait to read more!
