I mean I’m glad I read it. As another reviewer said it was like an info dump, an absolute overload of information. The plot moved along slowly that I really had to force myself to read.

Memorable last sentence: “Very few castaways can claim to have survived so long at sea as Mr. Patel, and none in the company of an adult Bengal tiger.”

Very good, I just wish it didn’t take half of the book to actually get into the plot but after that it was great. I enjoyed the characters and the twist was fun the pacing was just off

The book was really captivating, especially from the ship wreck moment. Just a couple of pages in the end turned everything over and left me wondering. Definitely recommend, if you’re looking for something adventurous and a bit dark.
