Actual rating: 3.5 
 5 to 1 was a book I was really excited to read about for a couple of reasons: 
 1. That gorgeous cover - I succumbed to a serious case of cover love. 
 2. The premise sounded extremely unique and a fascinating take on a possible Indian future. 
 Despite this being a wee thing of a book, I have many thoughts on it, some good and some aspects I wish had been different: 
 1. Despite its shortness in length, I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading it. 
 2. However, its shortness is also one of its downfalls in my opinion because the story covers only the tip of the iceberg of what it could possibly be. 
 3. I wanted more, more, more. More history about the separation of Koyanagar from the rest of India, more to that major open ending, more descriptions, just more to this story because I was really enjoying myself! 
 4. I didn't realize that parts of this book (Sudasa's chapters) were going to be told in verse and that worried me because I don't usually read books told in this way. However, it luckily wasn't an issue at all and I actually loved it! 
 5. I had so much sympathy for Sudasa and Kiran and the difficult decisions they had to make about themselves and each other. But again, due to the length of the book, I felt I never grew truly attached to them. 
 6. THAT ENDING. 
 Despite some issues, I loved reading this very interesting book.
