Review:


For a fantasy cum fiction book I always love depth. This book had a great topic to start with. The ambience was great but still something was there that was not enough. It was super quick to start with and I couldn't grasp much. But whatever hit my head, hit hard.

The story revolves around very few characters and I liked how things entangled and emerged as the outcome. The revelation and path taking instances were good and fantastical.
Only if the story could have evolved more and the tale could have been more descriptive, the book could have been on another level.

I loved the relationship between Pedro and the grandchild. The nuances and connection were worth looking for.

I liked how the story turn out to be. The ending to be specific to look out for but it was not obvious. I loved how the book transformed its own genre from fantasy to philosophical and what not.
About loving the book, I am not sure but surely, I liked reading this book. It was different and in the end that is all that matters.

Recommending this book to all those who are looking for a quick and hard-hitting book.
