The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka

4.0

Clever and interesting, with some wonderful character and worldbuilding work. This book is the reminder I needed of the power of storytelling to explore and teach about the world in ways nonfiction can't. However, the pacing didn't work for me and the middle dragged somewhat, which is a shame as the best bits of this book are worth it. I see how it won the Booker, just wish it had been a little shorter!
