This was a quick and interesting read.. There were some ideas really worth thinking about regarding language, colonialism, East and West etc but some parts were just downright weird and meaningless.. Also the characters (such as Adam) felt like props for the author to tell us about her views on these issues.. They did not really feel very real. It was worth a read but did not leave a deep impression on me.

Eerrrm what have I just read???

I really enjoyed the concept of this book, it kept me wanting to know more about The Centre and how it worked but I was still not ready when I eventually found out!!!

In parts it was slow and I felt like it was being padded out with unnecessary side stories just for the sake of it. I also wasn’t a fan of the long chapters.

I found Anisas character really unlikeable, I thought she was spoilt and annoying however I really liked Shibas strong character and how she was always one step ahead.

Give it a go if you don’t have a towering TBR but otherwise you’re not missing much - and just remember if anyone comes bragging that they learnt a full language in 10 days, just walk away
