2.5

This felt like a practise run for Brotherless Night which was a much greater accomplishment and a more readable novel. I don't like books that focus on the lives of a whole family but spends so little time with each character that you don't connect. This was how this novel felt to me and whilst I found the story of Sri Lanka moving the whole thing felt at arms length due to pacing and structure.
