Honestly, a good read.
I usually avoid reading political fiction, and read this one as the author personally asked me to. And I'm glad I did, I'm not disappointed with my decision :D
This was an easy read. The plot was interesting as well. I thought the political drama won't make sense to me but the author's writing has made it very intriguing and easy to understand.
Let's come to the plot. The Amven drug seemed interesting in the snippet of the plot itself. A simple drug with a simple use but can have dangerous consequences when used in a wrong way. If used on innocent beings by wrong people.
Rajat Shian forcibly steps down and Jehan Fasih takes over as the new PM, all for the greater good.
Abhijat Shian has temper issues, and Rito Shian is a charming bubble. For some reason I thought the villain is Jehan Fasih here, but his great sense of humor ruled out my assumption.
Such amazing people cannot be villains :D
(Unless it's Moriarti)
So yeah. Many characters are introduced. Conspiracy and drama ensues. Rito gets a job under Sinya Haval, and Abhijat is pissed about it as it could be some evil plan Jehan is brewing in his mind.
There were many instances where I thought, "Oh no, now what?"
When Afreen was abducted, when the fire accident happened and when Rito is about to commit a burglary under the threaten of Rinisa. But everything was handled very carefully.
Afreen is rescued from La Fantome club. The electrician is caught and Rito didn't get her hands dirty by stealing those samples as Dileep Haval catches her in the nick of time. Smooth!
And rest of the story follows suit. We come to know the ultimate villains are Rinisa and Grigori. Who were behind those metro blasts as well. When even Abhijat gets influenced by her evil whispers and truly suspects Jehan to be behind all of this, abducts him and corners him near some isolated warehouse place, I thought they were done for.
But upon waking up when Jehan didn't let go of his amusing sense of humor, I knew escaping from this would be another piece of cake for them.
Rito and Milli (Daughter of Mother Maganti) are abducted too, but they manage to smoothly escape the place by fooling Rinisa and Grigori. Well not really. But they were able to overpower them by using the very drug which this entire story was all about, Amven!
All credits goes to amazing Jehan Fasih!
Honestly, at this point I developed a huge crush on him.
Even the Gala was very fine. They had the upper hand now. Jehan spooks Rinisa enough for her to try and make an escape, get away from the country itself, and also at the same time, place and day Jehan humiliates the President Maganti in his own Gala party. And encourages his own people to step up and rebel against him. He's so down.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
And the ending was a nice, sweet and happy one too. After defeating the enemy, all the characters have a gala time, and the books ends with Abhijat observing everyone's smiles, Rito's, Milli's, Ruqaiya's, Jehan's, Afreen's, Ivanovna's, etc and being grateful for it all.
(Adding a personal note:
I liked how someone of the names and places were so closely associated to Indian ones
Abhijat -> Abhijeet
Birhani -> Bihari
And rest of the names were unique too, including the places.
Forgive me if I got any facts wrong 🙈)
A quote from the book:
if you never trust anyone with anything, you don’t have any right to expect they’d trust you when the time comes.
