This book was absolutely beautiful. I loved the way the author perfectly weaved in very heavy topics, while still keeping the book fairly lighthearted. Nishat was an incredibly complex and loveable main character. The author is very good at making complex characters. Even the side characters are intriguing! The way the author was able to add depth to the side characters, while still keeping the main focus on Nishat was very impressive. Overall this book is a very good read, and worth all the praise.
