* This book has been given to me by the author is exchange for an honest review.*
 
To begin the review, I just want to say that this book is one hell of a twisted book.
I don't even know where to begin. I went into the stories thinking that it would be just like any other psychological thriller I have read but trust me, it was far from it. As much as I was intrigued by the premise, I was quite disappointed on how the book ended. The stories narrated by the three monks were quite compelling. I enjoyed reading the first two but I felt like there was no substance to the third and it felt quite unrealistic to me.

I do not read books by Indian authors at all so,I had no idea whether I could even complete this book or not but I did. The writing was amazing and it was written in a much better form as compared to other Indian authors. I loved how the creation of poetry was done. I am a big fan of poetry and as a poet and a writer myself, I quite enjoyed that part.

One aspect which I did not like was how the ending was played by all the characters. There were so many moments where I cringed and wanted to stop reading the book. some of the scenes were quite vivid and I didn't felt like there was a necessity to elaborate these scenes so much.

Overall, I enjoyed the book but still, there were parts where I just wanted to get over with reading it but it was definitely worth a read as it had so many amazing quotes and the poetry.


Thank you so much to the author for providing me a copy of this book.
