A review by edatta
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Confusing at times, but ultimately moving and painful and introspective in the best ways
