Blurb- Ishita Singh, a student of St. Pierce’s College, Mumbai was living a pretty normal life with her group of friends, a caring senior and scarily enough, a creep who followed her.

Shweta wakes up in the unknown planet of Isthenope and sets out with Alexander Ishutin, a former spy of the RSV, to discover more about the unknown planet which was built for a future civilization.

Underlying the lives of the two in completely different worlds, there lies a dark secret which was partially blacked out in some corner of Shweta’s memory and unknown to Ishita. Will they ever come to know about the secret or will it be so chilling that it won’t be worth living for?

Review- 

First of all kudos to author for choosing a genre which unfortunately is not very popular among the Indian authors. It's not easy writing a Dystopian novel but I'm glad Indian Writing is changing and changing for good.

Book Title and Cover- The Book Title is attractive and goes well with the content. However, cover could be made more interesting and attractive. Blurb is simple and crisp and gives us more disclosure about the content.

Language and Narration- Coming to the language of book, it is simple and easy to comprehend. Narration is done well and it engages readers with the book. Editing is done well and book is free from grammatical errors.

Characterization- . Author has artistically portrayed the actors in the story which is difficult to do.

Storyline and Plot- Storyline is interesting. Author has artistically raised some question about the story in the prologue which are answered at the end of the book. 

The blend of impeccable storyline and dystopian factor with pinch of thriller binds readers with the book. Author beautifully handles the changing of themes throughout the book.

The picturesque narration is cheery on the top making story reading more interesting.
