I feel like I was just waiting for something to happen in this book and then nothing ever really did. It moves so slowly and the characterizations of the side characters are nice, but they don’t lead anywhere. I think the main and pretty much the only redeeming quality about this book were the characterizations of Karachi and the historical fiction aspect of it all, especially when they were describing Benazhir’s election. That felt so real and actually made me wish I could’ve witnessed it. Overall, unfortunately a snooze fest.
