The second person perspective wasn’t for me and the plot was just confusing.

The story was really interesting, and the characters colourful and had real depth. It was difficult to follow at times with all the characters intertwining, but the lead up to the last moon and the beyond was worth it. I enjoyed it, learning about the history of Sri Lanka, but felt like it was easy to get lost in, and not in an escapism kind of way.
