It was a good book with a very complex character. I find the book hard to follow sometimes. Nonetheless, it was an easy read.
Biprajit Mazumder –
A bit too much psychoanalysis for my taste, but the story was still engaging. David’s character development was well-done. I enjoyed the references to mythology. Good book overall.
Tanish Mittal –
Davies writes with such depth! Manticore kept me guessing until the very end. David Staunton is a complex character. A worthwhile read if you enjoy psychological narratives. Highly recommended.
Kanchi Yadav –
Manticore is a strange, yet compelling read. Davies’ prose is beautiful, but the plot meanders at times. David’s journey is fascinating, if a bit slow. I am intrigued enough to continue with the trilogy.
Riya Arora –
Manticore is a fantastic sequel! Davies continues to impress with his intricate storytelling and profound insights. Loved the exploration of Jungian psychology. Couldn’t put it down!
Brishti Hazra –
Absolutely brilliant! Manticore delves deep into the human psyche. A compelling story with unforgettable characters. One of the best books I’ve read this year.
Abhishek Khandekar –
Manticore is an interesting book, but I felt it dragged on in places. The ideas are fascinating, but not always presented in the most exciting way. The ending saved it for me.
Anmol Singh –
A unique and challenging read. Manticore demands patience, but it rewards you with its depth and insight. I really like the exploration of the psyche.
Kshitij Verma –
I found Manticore to be a thought-provoking exploration of the self. However, it felt a bit dense and academic at times. Not my favorite, but definitely interesting. It offers a unique exploration.
Karan Singh –
I loved the psychological aspect and analysis of self in this book. It does drag and bit but overall, an engaging read.
Bhavana Dubey –
Manticore is dense but rewarding. The exploration of the psyche is fascinating, and the characters are well-developed. But it is still a bit slow.
Vaibhav Raj –
While I appreciated the psychological elements of Manticore, I struggled to connect with David. The mythology was interesting, but the overall pace felt sluggish. Solid but not outstanding.
Shashwat Anand –
I was completely captivated by Manticore. Davies is a master storyteller, and this book is a testament to his talent. The characters are rich and complex. Will read again!
Shivam Swami –
Davies weaves a magical tale in Manticore. The blend of psychology and mythology is seamless. David’s quest for self-discovery is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Superb read!
Apoorv Agrahari –
Interesting concept, but the execution was a bit lacking for me. Manticore is worth a read if you’re into psychological thrillers. I would recommend it.
Divyank Kantilal Agarwal –
I enjoyed Manticore, but it didn’t quite reach the heights of Fifth Business. Still, Davies’ writing is always a pleasure to read. Worth checking out for fans of the series.
Vaibhav Kumar –
I was expecting more after Fifth Business. Manticore felt a bit disjointed and less engaging. The mythology aspect felt forced. Ultimately, it was okay, not great.
