I enjoyed the illustrations and the format.
There were a few twists, but once the facts were laid out, I pretty much thought I had the book figured out.
I can't say whether I'm right or wrong though because the book seemed to end abruptly leaving me with more questions than answers. Did Yasoda join Conti or did Conti join Yasoda? What was the connection to Marco; why did he HAVE to be there? Conti comments that the return of the Parvati depended on Sara's kin; what did he mean by that?
I just didn't find the ending compelling or satisfying.
