recklessric 's review for:

The Centre by Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi
2.0
mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I like this concept but it just all feels a bit underbaked and the "twist" feels well forecasted and ultimately has little consequence and is unexplored. This book digs up a lot of social topics as well with out really exploring them - either to make a point or to challenge the reader to think for themselves - they just kind of are mentioned and forgotten. All that said, it was still a fairly quick and easy read and the voice and personality shine through the book in a fairly unique way.
