This story is much darker than I had originally expected it to be, and because of that it was pretty hard to read. I found myself having to put the book down multiple times because I could not process what was happening in it. Putting aside the thematic weight of the story, the story telling was very slow and I couldn’t help but feel like there was more that could’ve been added to the story to make Ama’s ending better. even though we know that she finds freedom in the end, it feels incomplete because of everything she had to suffer through for the rest of the book.
