I loved how the Indian city the characters live in is depicted, in such a vivid way I felt like living in that very place. You can sort of hear the writer is a journalist, the writing style is clipped and fast, short sentences and punches at the right place. The plot is definitely intriguing with the children disappearing one by one.
However, what I didn't really like, but it's striking nonetheless, is the shifting of the tone: from cheerful despite the circumstances to extremely dark and unresolved. I couldn't wrap my mind around the finale.
