kristens_bookshelf 's review for:
The Magnificent Ruins
by Nayantara Roy
As always, thanks to Algonquin Books for sending me this ARC! I think this is the first book I have read published by them and it won't be my last.
Reading this book was like reading a Bollywood movie! Every emotion you can think of was conjured while reading this story. It even had a little twist at the end that I was not expecting and I audibly said "WAIT WHAT!?" and had to go back and reread a little bit for the "O.M.G." moment.
The author did an amazing job with the world building. I could see every landscape and taste every meal as if I was standing in the world with the characters. Also the little tid-bits of history on the region and political climate added so much to the story.
