A review by emilypolcyn
Mother Ocean Father Nation by Nishant Batsha

3.0

A good story, but the writing just didn’t hit the mark for me. The first half of the book really dragged— I didn’t learn anything I didn’t already know from the back cover until halfway through. A lot of the characters also didn’t really feel well-rounded to me. (I got really tired of hearing Jaipal’s horny prose.) A lot of the flowery writing just felt a bit unnecessary and stiff as well. I enjoyed the story and its message but feel like it could’ve been tightened up a lot.
