  1. Anjali Yadav

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

  2. Kartik Sood

    Captivating! ‘The Spider’s House’ is a beautifully written novel that transported me to another time and place. Highly recommended.

  3. Harshvardhan Singh

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

  4. Abhijith Biju

    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.

  5. Sumit

    Not my usual type of book, but I was pleasantly surprised. The writing is lyrical, and the story is quietly compelling.

  6. Anuj Goyal

    Interesting story about Moroccan culture. It was an eye-opening look into a society in transition. I loved learning about the different cultural traditions.

  7. Adarsh Keshri

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

  8. Shubham Agarwal

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

  9. Akshay Agnihotri

    Intriguing glimpse into s Fez. The political backdrop was well-developed, but the characters felt a bit distant. Overall, an interesting read.

  10. 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.

  11. 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!

  12. Niladri Paul

    I wanted to love this, but it didn’t fully grab me. The writing is beautiful, but the plot meandered. The historical context was interesting, at least.

  13. Aman Deshraj

    Exquisite prose and a compelling narrative. ‘The Spider’s House’ is a must-read for those who appreciate historical fiction.

  14. Satya Kumari

    Wonderful book! The story pulls you in quickly, and the characters are really developed and interesting.
