The Direction of the Wind by Mansi Shah

2.0

This read was interesting in the beginning. The only reason it is ending up with 2 stars for me is because the ending was such a disappointment IMO. This plot was ripe with complex characters who were full of potential. The 3rd person perspective of Nita's story was incredibly rich with emotion which Sophie's perspective was ridden with grief and curiosity throughout the first half. The 2nd half of the book was rushed with too many gaps to piece together. While I normally don't mind a sad ending, to me, Sophie wasted the entire book to end up right back where she started. What was the whole point of taking us on this journey with absolutely nothing to show for it. I felt awful for Nita's son, but then we were completely left in the dark regarding his perspective and role in this entire thread. After reading, I just felt like I sorted through a mess of a plot line that essentially was a waste of time.
