DHRUV - Love Story Of An Alchemist by Karan Verma

3.0

This book started with a little clichè plotline and and most of the scenes were predictable to some extent. Also, as it was a fast-paced story, there were some points where I wished for some more details to read. Sometimes I would re-read some lines to get what actually happened but couldn't grasp the part. I won't say that the characters were not well portrayed but there were times when Dhruv's character irked me.

What I really liked about this book is the narration of the story. I really liked the way the story has been told in a poetic way. Being a poetess myself, I loved reading every line, every phrase of it. Emma's carefree and lively nature was something I could relate to and Dhruv's determination for his ambitions, the pureness of both the characters' heart and their view towards life gave me hope.

The end was something I could've never predicted. It took an intensely major turn and I feel like that's the best thing about a book; attracting readers with the catchy title, giving them the feeling of love, affection, hope and home, writing in poetically beautiful way and ending the story in an unexpected way.

I would definitely recommended this book to everyone who likes to read fast-paced and poetically narrated stories.
