This book was ok. This review reflects more on me than the book.
It was a lot and it took a lot to get through. I don't think I understood all of it. I feel like it was trying to be a Cloud Atlas-esque book set in India but I wasn't able to pick up the through lines as easily. This is more on me b/c the book is chock-full of references and my understanding of India is from an American perspective. I blame myself that deficiency.
Deb's writing is nice and it evocative of the worlds he was creating. I don't think I was able to connect though. Tis a shame.
