As he makes a daring run to survive, journeying through the unknown world outside his village, new mysteries emerge, some closely concerning him.

RATING: 5 ☆'s

REVIEW:
First of I would like to thank the publishers for the review copy in exchange for an honest review and would also like to extend my gratitude for waiting patiently for the review to come.
Coming to the book, the blurb is catchy and presents an insight into what the book is all about - thrill and fantasy.So here's what I feel about the book -

WHAT I LOVED:
  1. Character Evolution --- I simply loved the way the characters evolved over the entire length of the book. It added greatly and positively to the reading experience
  2. Plot --- even though some elements might bear slight resemblance to other fantasy reads, the plot with all its twists and turns was quiet exciting and fun to read through
  3. The Narration --- at the early stages I felt the narrative left a lot of things hanging - leaving you confused and unsatisfied; but as you read on, things start becoming clearer and clearer and you realise that the narration style actually works in the favour of the plot making it an enjoyable read
  4. Pace of the Book --- even though the entire book is spread across 3 days and 2 nights, the amount of things happening in that short duration makes you feel as if many days have passed - making it a Fast Paced Thrilling Read
  5. Language --- those who have been reading my reviews, know that language plays a very important role in my whole reading experience - I have dissed books because of their poor language - but this book here was flawless. Indian authors have a tendency to over-simplify the language but they forget that Indians speak better English as opposed to in many western countries. Thankfully, that is not the case with this book - I simply loved and enjoyed reading this book.
WHAT I DISLIKED:
I simply adored the book and their is nothing I dislike with this book.
    THE VERDICT:
    The book with its twists and turns is definitely an interesting, exciting and thrilling read. It has all the elements of a fantasy fiction that tick the right way with a fantasy lover.
    It is fast paced and a page-turner - a book that proves to be unputdownable. Even though, very slightly confusing at the beginning, as you read on, the book becomes clearer and clearer and everything made sense.
    Although, on a lighter fun note, with all the action happening, I was quiet shocked when I realised that I have read over 60% of the book and it's still the first night going. And that's where I absolutely fell in love with the book - I mean if you have read more than half the book without realising the passage of time and being bored even for a second, it's definitely a great book.
    I am eagerly awaiting the release of next book in this 4 book series and it makes me happy to know that it was only the first book.
    In the end, I am just going to say one thing and one thing only, this is the only review book, that I have received so far, that got a 5 star rating from me. Kudos to the author.

    READ, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR:
    • Fantasy Fiction
    • Fast Paced - Page Turner Book
    • A Thrilling and Exciting Read
    In the end, I wish the author success in all his future endeavors and thank him and the publishing house once again for trusting me with this book.

Generations have grown up outside the shadow of the communal killings and mass displacement that shaped the contemporary history of the subcontinent.
