The plot of the book is hands down great, the way it brings the current Indian society in play is beautiful. I like how the book is not preachy and allows the characters who are actual teenagers to be so a little. My only problem is that the characters aren't fleshed out, they seem one dimensional and I understand that Samsara is more of a fantasy but a little depth to the characters' personality could go a long way. Without the depth in the characters this book kind of falls flat for me, with only the plot carrying it.
