MY REVIEW

Short stories and novellas are harder for me to review than a full length novel. Sometimes, an author doesn’t have time to fully flesh out the story, making it seem as if they are skimming over the details. That is how I felt when I first began The Reenchanted by Surit Dasgupta. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. The good thing is….the more I read, the better the story became.

The Reenchanted by Surit Dasgupta feels like a nice blend of science fiction and apocalytic/dystopian reading. The characters struggle to find out the meaning of life, when they have moments of clarity. Otherwise, they are drugged to become more amenable.

All in all, I was satisfied with the story, especially that last half to third, where the characters were really put to the test. Want a story that takes you outside the norm? Give The Reenchanted by Surit Dasgupta a try.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Reenchanted by Surit Dasgupta.

GOODREADS BLURB

The Traveler and Seven are mere spokes in the wheel of a city called Sanctuary. Their lives are uneventful and without conflict, but soon something causes them to start asking questions. Can human beings exist meaningfully in a world without personality? Can a person ever truly be free? What does it mean to dream? What does it even mean to be a human person? These questions do not bode well with the authorities and soon the Traveler and Seven are forced to embark on a journey that will change their lives forever.
