A review by bookreviewswithkb
The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No

2.0

this started off really strong and then somewhere around halfway through it felt like it was nonstop traumatic event after traumatic event, without the characters doing any processing. when that’s the case, i wonder what the point of the traumatic event even is and it starts to feel like the trauma is being sensationalized

lack of character depth, unexplored storylines, and so many contradictions
