Wild card 3 is a sport fiction not only limited to those who want to do something in the field of sports but rather to everyone who want to achieve whatever their hearts crave.
This one is the third installment in the series. I hadn't read first two but the author was kind of to give summary of first two books in the beginning so it didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.
Language of the book is simple even sports lingo is simple and easy to understand. There are not many characters in the story and we get perspective from each main characters. Their journey through their thoughts is easy to follow. However, sometimes long monologues were bit distraction in otherwise wholesome plot but even they are very short given book is very short so we don't digress much.
Plot of the novel is basic. Teenage girl on the wheelchair wants to pursue her dreams. Before divulging into the novel I had my doubts like if this is going to be like other YA where writers give us scenarios/conversations which can't happen in reality but this was far from true in this case. Every argument and conversation Roshni and Karan have felt so real. Their father daughter relationship was simple yet it had magnitude.
As it's a sports fiction it would have been incomplete without nail biting match. Whole sequence was so at par that I felt like I was watching it live.
This book is highly recommended for every one

Book Name : Wild Card 3 – Never say never
Author name : Asfiya Rahman
Book Review : This is the third book of a sports-fiction trilogy called The wild card. Since I hadn’t read the previous two books, I loved how they have mentioned what happens in the first two books concisely. It helped me bring myself up to speed with the storyline. With a wheelchair in focus on the cover page, it was clear that this book involves differently-abled characters. Firstly, a common mistake that happens with differently-abled characters is a sense of pity and the constant focus on their needs. But, I loved how the passions of characters are given the central stage in this book. Another fascinating feature of the characters in this book and how they interact are what I can call as a balanced conflict. When two characters are encountered with a misunderstanding, it doesn’t get ugly at all but instead, there is a sense of calm, composure and maturity to how all the characters process their emotions. The story is gripping and I thoroughly enjoyed the ending. However, I felt there was scope to introduce more colours to Roshni’s character since she is a teenage girl for the most portion. This was a good short read after a long time. I am rating this book 3.5 out of 5.
