Review -
1) The cover and the title of the book could have been better.
2) The plot of the story is unique and interesting. It is a perfect blend of sci fi, mystery and thriller with a tinge of romance. This book talks about social issues like stalking, rape and honour killing which is very well narrated by the author.
3) The language used by the author is simple and lucid.
4) Hats off to the author for his superb imagination and research work.
5) The writing style is commendable.
6) The author has set up three scenes simultaneously in India, Russia and another planet : Isthenope which he managed very well.
7) The story is focused mainly on events rather than characters.
8) Editing part of the book is quiet weak though.
9)The flow of the book is well paced and engaging making the readers wait for the sequel. 10)Overall, a refreshing read.
Rating - 4/5
I recommend this book to all sci fi and thriller lovers out there.
