5.0

This book is way better than the Kite Runner. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do when I started reading it, but it totally subverted my expectations. The writing is still easy to read, but the story is so much more powerful and touching, and it helps that the characters feel real. I love Mariam so much- my favourite character in this book. I don't usually feel much towards the antagonists but
when he died at the end I felt so vindicated. Not many antagonists can make me hate them with all my heart.
 

All in all, this is a great book. I throughly enjoyed it.
