A review by waqasmhd
Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson

3.0

I give it 3.5...

..because despite I felt it was tad childish, it kept me interested enough till end. No amount of reviews could've prepared me for this book. Its unique, it is fun thriller and an easy read. But although it tried to mix a lot of Islamic/religious and real political stuff, it still felt like modern aladdin type of story.

One nitpick- since this is story about computer techie/hacker, it uses a lot of tech jargon, which at times sound pretentious and silly.
