zombiezami's review against another edition

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

I loved the descriptive writing style, and I loved Poornima and Savitha as characters.  It's hard for me to rate this because it's almost unrelentingly sad. The main characters were so resilient, but I'm so sad that they had to be.
