- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.5
I'm fascinated by how Chakraborty is able to make you understand the characters so deeply, making you feel sorry and love for even the villains, because even though you might not agree, or their actions are not justifiable, you still understand where the pain comes from and why they believe what they are doing is right.
This is a story about how love and belief can blind us, and even though this was obviously mostly a fictional world, I could relate it all too well to the reality of our world.
Very well done series and characters, it kept me on my toes and I just kept praying everything would be okay when I couldn't think of a way out.
