I may be a bit biased but I like listening to Ryman’s performance bring the story to life. Kanti is a very down-to-earth protagonist; he’s not stupid, but he is caught in the middle of a lie he can’t simply resolve by confessing to the right person. Already this makes it leagues better than stories where you’re constantly yelling at the character “just tell the truth already!” You know why he can’t. That’s very critical to building sympathy.
This book was originally a standalone title but then Gre7g did the foolish thing of making not just one but many more sequels, meaning there is just SO MUCH geroo to invest your time in.
