House of Glass Hearts

⭐⭐⭐ – overall
⭐ – for the present chapters
⭐⭐⭐⭐ – for the past chapters

I wanted to like this one more than I did! It had such a creative and unique plot, but the writing just wasn't there to do it justice. The weakest part of the narrative was the present time period. The characters felt one dimensional, and I had a difficult time connecting with any of them. That said, the past timeline about India's part in WW2, and their immigration into Pakistan, was by far the best part of this book. The writing was much better. The characters more developed. I wish the entire book had taken place in the past.
