Unfortunately the execution was rough, it was repeatitive and filled with backstories for minor characters. The book is split into 5 different parts with each part focusing on different characters. In parts 1 - 3 we're introduced to our main characters Ajay, Neda, and Sunny and cover the same pivotal events from their perspective. Each perspective revealed more about the criminal Wadia empire, but covering the same events multiple times felt very repeatitive. Before we reach the conculsion to the events set in motion in the first half of the book, we're introduced to minor characters and get their entire backstory. Backstory is not a replacement for character development. Honestly I could have skipped half the book and been fine.
I should have DNF'd this but my desire to complete a book over 500 pages was too strong.
