The book has been targeted for children mostly but still it was a page turner for me. The plot line is unique and the mixture of emotions keeps you hooked to the book. The recurring themes of loss, vultures, death, air pollution, mythology etc make it a great read as a whole. After all the central character is indeed on a journey to find answers for things which has happened in his life.

Okay, I accidentally read this children's book at a very old age :3

And I must say, it wasn't a bad read. In fact it's a very well light read. Some concepts were present worth understanding as adults.

The book is adventurous but a little messed up at the beginning. Just like Jose, readers will also find gravepyres a little ridiculous rather than exciting. But the adventures of Jose and Mishi are really worth the read.
What I loved the most was the climax. It didn’t end on a closure but it surely made the story worth reading!
However, there was a hint of Hogwarts in the Gravepyres school which I didn’t like. I mean why copy concept, even a pinch of it?
