Saumya Darshan –
I wanted to love this more than I did. While the premise was interesting, many stories fell flat for me. The writing style felt pretentious at times.
Anas Ahmad –
I enjoyed the magical realism, but the stories often felt disjointed and lacked a clear focus. The characters were interesting.
Samyak Daheshwar Gajbhiye –
Rock Eaters is okay, but I think it’s overhyped. Some of the tales are intriguing, but the writing felt a little too flowery.
Naveen Kumar –
While Peynado is a talented writer, some stories were too abstract for my taste. The magical realism felt forced in some parts.
Keshav Kumar –
Some stories really resonated with me, while others were confusing and hard to follow. A mixed bag, but worth reading for the gems.
