I have difficulties in letting go, at
times. Or moving on, at times. One of the recent examples is Amish’ The Oath of the Vayuputra. Case in the
point: I received the book from my dear friend in India in late April, finish
it in three days (non-continuous reading due to my schedule), and yet have
never been able to sit down and write the review. Until now. Because I am still
in denial (yes, it’s not only a river in Egypt… which I will mention again at
the end of this review).
Several things made it difficult for me to
let go. The ending, for one – and I’m sure I’m not alone in this matter. I read
online that a girl still hadn’t been able to let go after two weeks of
finishing Vayuputra. Well, I’m into six months after finishing it, and I still
cannot let go. There are some nitpicks of course, which made me wish that Amish
had somewhat wrote the book rather differently. But the most important thing is
the ending.
So, to make it shorter-ish, I will divide
the review into what I love, what I like, and what I dislike (and I wish I
could change). Heavy spoilers for those who haven’t read the book yet.
