  1. Gaurav Pingolia

    This book exceeded my expectations! The story is unique, the writing is superb, and the characters are unforgettable. Highly recommended.

  2. Neha Lahariya

    While the writing is good, the themes explored are quite dark and disturbing. Be prepared for some uncomfortable content. Not light reading.

  3. Ambikesh Raman

    I appreciated the exploration of colonial society and the role of superstition. However, I found the pacing to be uneven. Good, but flawed.

  4. Prashant Choudhary

    A captivating read! The atmosphere is incredible. However, I found some parts a bit slow. Overall, a worthwhile experience.

  5. Praveen B

    A decent read, but not particularly memorable. The characters were interesting, but I didn’t feel a strong connection to them. Okay.

  6. Siddharth Vankam

    I had mixed feelings about this book. The premise was intriguing, but I found some of the relationships unsettling. Not for everyone.

  7. Manoj Singh

    A bit slow to start, but once it picks up, it’s hard to put down. The writing is lyrical and the characters are complex. Worth the read.

  8. Tejaswita Rai

    Interesting story, but not my favorite from the author. The characters are well-developed, but the plot dragged in places. Good, but not great.

  9. Kunapuli Venkata Sai Sandeep

    Absolutely loved this book! The prose is stunning and the story is both heartbreaking and beautiful. A must-read for historical fiction fans.

  10. Harikrishnan K A

    Interesting premise but poorly executed. The plot was all over the place. The characters were not believable.

  11. Sumit Kumar Jayant

    An amazing book. This is one of the best historical fiction I have ever read. The book is worth every penny.

  12. Allen Samson Hiwale

    Enjoyed the historical setting and the exploration of superstition. The ending was a bit ambiguous for my taste. Still, a solid read.

  13. Rohan Verma

    Beautifully written and deeply moving. The themes explored are timeless. I was completely engrossed from beginning to end. Highly recommend!
