A fascinating look at a city in transition. The cultural clashes are palpable. I wish the plot had been a little more focused, though.

Enjoyable but little slow. I enjoyed the historical context and setting, but the story lagged in some places.

I was drawn to the book’s setting more than the plot. The descriptions of Fez were beautiful, but the characters were a bit one-dimensional.

The author’s descriptions of Fez are stunning. However, I struggled to connect with the protagonist. Still, a worthwhile read for the atmosphere.

The book was a good read overall, but I found Stenham to be difficult to connect with. Otherwise, it was great!

Intriguing glimpse into s Fez. The political backdrop was well-developed, but the characters felt a bit distant. Overall, an interesting read.
Yash Sharma –
A bit too slow-paced for my taste. While the setting is vividly portrayed, the lack of action made it a bit of a slog.
Rajat Choubey –
A slow burn, but ultimately rewarding. The atmosphere of the Medina is richly depicted. I found the ending a bit ambiguous though. Worth reading!
