The Servant Boy: A Rags to Riches Novel
by Reesha Goral
As a debut novel, [a:Reesha Goral|16056784|Reesha Goral|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1479405766p2/16056784.jpg] has done a great job. This is a very good read and a quick one. The story is entertaining and intriguing and leaves the reader with more questions and expectations as each chapter ends. Though it took sometime for me to get a grip on the story, but once I was in, I just wanted to keep reading it.

This book was heavy on emotions and it depicts the relationship of Zayne with various persons very simply during his phases of poorness and richness. You can imagine yourself there. The Pakistani cultural element was also very good. Though I am Indian so I easily related with each local word written, but for other people also, who are interested in multi-cultural knowledge, this is a great read to learn it.
I main thing that I liked about this is that its a fast read. There was not even a single part which was stretched. For eg., Even if Zayne is thinking something, that was also just up to the mark. Nothing was exaggerated.
I enjoyed it very much as the story was fresh. But why I gave it a star less is because, I didn't liked the fantasy element in the end, it ended too quickly. I felt that the reason should have been something different for the ending. As it was a simple mutli-cultural story from the beginning, it should have remained so in the end also. I thought that this fantasy element was not needed, hence the rating.
Overall, it is a great read, and I would recommend it to everyone who is interested in reading about some different culture. And definitely I am waiting for some work from [a:Reesha Goral|16056784|Reesha Goral|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1479405766p2/16056784.jpg] soon.
