Abhijeet Bera –
A mixed bag. The ambition is admirable, but the execution falters. Interesting ideas, but the story meanders and lacks focus.
Devanshu Singh Negi –
Amazing book, must read! The author created a really intriguing world where technology meets social commentary. It was really creative!
Vikash Bohra –
The exploration of power dynamics, family relationships, and climate change was thought-provoking. It’s a book that stays with you long after you finish reading.
Nandini Rathi –
A powerful story about power and family, but at times preachy. The climate change themes were well done and it was a unique perspective of Dalit history.
Ankit –
An interesting premise, but the execution felt a bit clunky. The world-building was strong, but the characters could have been more developed. Overall, a decent read.
Manish Chauhan –
I was captivated by the blend of Indian history, technology, and climate change. While the plot got dense at times, the themes resonated deeply. A worthy read!

The book had some moments that really shined, especially regarding the climate themes. However, at times, the plot felt slow and hard to keep track of.

Vara’s novel offers a unique blend of technology, history, and social commentary. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of power, family, and the future of humanity.

The book had too many ideas and not enough focus. The writing was good, but the story was too ambitious. It’s not a book for casual readers.

While the characters were compelling, I felt that the plot lacked direction. There were too many ideas, and they weren’t fully explored. Overall, a decent read.
Yashika Khandait –
The story had a lot of potential, but it lost me in the details. The beginning was slow, and the ending was too fast-paced.

Engaging and creative! The concepts were great, the writing style was unique, and the story kept me thinking about the consequences of unchecked power.

A bit uneven, but the ambition and scope are impressive. Vara tackles big themes with creativity, even if the execution isn’t always perfect. Worth checking out!

The novel started strong but lost its way in the middle. I loved the setting, and the characters were interesting, but the plot became convoluted. Overall, okay read.

Vauhini Vara’s novel is thought-provoking, if a bit uneven. King Rao’s story is compelling, and Athena’s struggle is relatable. However, the pacing could have been improved.

A unique blend of historical fiction and sci-fi, with compelling characters and a timely message. The writing style takes time to get used to, but worth it.

This book is a challenging read, but ultimately rewarding. It left me pondering the implications of technological advancements and their effect on our planet.
