The Bookish TreeThe Astral Surge | Book Review #60The Astral Surge written by Nirmal Ranganathan. There are certain books whose stories just stick with you forever. A book that may have a lot of thrill, a lot of action and, suspense but what will stay with me is the Unconditional love of the mother, Andrea. The chemistry between Catherine ( Andrea's Daughter ) and Peter, her partner. Can't reveal any spoilers.
I will speak about the plot but the ending had a poetic touch that really melted my heart. though I predicted certain things rightly but due to certain elements, it was just beautiful & beautiful things win your heart.

A 380 pages long book it is and the deal is, it is not an ordinary book dude. It has both easy and complex elements that take you to a proper cinematic experience. Being a reader, after reading this masterpiece, I can say that this book helped me evolve as a reader.
Sounds so strange, isn't it? Be ready for a completely honest & raw review!
