Reader's View:
The series of events offered to the reader one after other would definitely binds the reader to it, if he/she is into typical Indian-dramatic-story.In the beginning, the reader may get a thought that it is just another story of a rich-left alone story of a girl, but with the time, the reader gets a chance to encounter the backbone of the story.
From the sudden turns that the story takes, it was quite a task to get ready for the unexpected events that author has in store for the reader.At the back of my mind, I had many thoughts regarding the story, like it would go in this or that direction, but author showcases his own talent playing with the reader's mind.
The 'exploration' part is what I found the interesting chord of the story.As Seya (the protagonist), grows closer towards the mystery behind Pakhi, the story goes more and more interesting and intriguing.It took me some time to get accustomed to author's writing style, although it is simple in nature, but the articulation is done in such a manner that I couldn't feel comfortable in the beginning, but with time, this hitch faded into thin air.
I love the way author brings life to the characters.The reader could easily feel their presence and could easily gather traits of a particular protagonist through the amount of detail provided by the author.The bold and stout character of Pakhi, the dejected Seya,and all of them leaves a trace of their image in an effective manner.
