Review:
Love, patience and 'never giving up' is basically the theme of this book. A New Dawn by Kamini Kusum is based on a usual theme, but it is much more than that.
Talking about the story, it is sweet in the beginning, but as it progresses, it turns depressing. It showcases the undying love of Shravan and Mugdha. It also houses a love-triangle - which just spice things up.
The characterization of all character is brilliant. While reading one can imagine every single one. And hats-off to the author for awesome narration. I just loved it.
What I didn't love about the book is the end. It seemed forced and deliberate. To be honest, I hated it. I don't want to write any spoilers, but I felt way too edgy and depressed after finishing this book.
Another thing I didn't like is the grammatical mistakes and typos in the book. For example, Page 87, "it was you mother" instead of 'your'. Also, on same page Mugdha calls her own mother as 'your mother' There are a couple more, but I haven't marked them.
Lastly, the price of the book is Rs. 245, which seems unjustified. Also, it seems that text has been squeezed into pages. It distracts, you see.
Well, apart from look and feel of the book and the typos, it is fast-paced read which is very well narrated.
My rating to this book (for its story and content) is 4/5
You can grab a copy as well from Amazon and read for yourself.
Lots of Love
