I enjoyed this book really well.
From the beginning when the death takes place and then alternative chapters from two characters telling one story from past and one from future.
Only that past story seemed a bit more than required when I was reading but maybe it would have been a clue to the final reveal.
Though I understood the final reveal when the first suspense was revealed maybe author wanted it to be revealed who knows.
But still liked this book 
It kept me on toes.
It's a good book.
Many creative ideas in story.
Would definitely love to read more from the author.

I found it boring 
A bit slow 
Then i thought maybe it was a children's book 
But children won't understand what was going on 
Coz till half of the book i didn't 
.
Good imagination no doubt 
But I think the world should have developed more 
It felt half baked 🙈
.
I feel bad to say such a thing for such a famous and brilliant author 
But this book no
