The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka
4.0
dark emotional funny hopeful mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
It’s starts off really slow, but as more moons pass the story truly goes somewhere else. I enjoyed the commentary it made about life and violence and self. If you hate the first two moons, just know it gets better in the second half. Check the trigger warnings before you read!!
