The Wall by Gautam Bhatia
5.0
This is easily my favourite book from 2020, and is responsible for bringing my reading habit back with a vengeance.
The writer’s words were like water to the parched landscape of unpretentious visual writing, and I’m a huge enthusiast of ‘show-don’t-tell.’
I loved how the dialogue between Mithila and Amrit never fell off beat, though chapter 13 has my whole heart in the way that I had to call a friend up to scream about how gorgeously it was written.
While I’d have loved to know more about Alvar, Elmandar and Mankala, I’m going to wait until book 2 to judge the fullness of character sketching, since I’ve heard this is a two-part series.
That aside, I’m so mad about the way that cliffhanger has me yearning.
