I enjoyed learning about Kuttanad and its unique culture. Vavachan’s story is compelling, but the book can be dense at times. Be prepared to take your time with it.

While the themes are important, I struggled to connect with the characters. The pacing was also a bit slow for my taste. An okay read, but not a favorite.

The book started strong, but I felt it lost its way in the middle. The themes are important, but the execution was uneven for me. Still, an interesting cultural insight.

An interesting premise, but the execution fell short for me. I was hoping for more depth in the characters. It’s worth a read if you’re interested in the subject matter.
