Okay. So it's been some time since The Child of Misfortune has been released and now the book is finally getting some traction. I recently discovered it was on the OM Book Store bestsellers list - and that was quite a surprise - so I took a picture and here it is . And now the book's also being read by people who aren't just separated from me by one or two degrees. And it is receiving QUITE a favorable response (and also a couple of scathing reviews on how I need to get a life:)). 
 
So here are a few reviewers by critics that granted me an objective, external verification to the effect that TCOM is indeed a great book. A lot of these reviews have flattered me greatly - and some have humbled me. Others have made me realise I need to deliver on the promises I've made in this 1st book. And to all the reviewers and readers out there - yes, this is not the end of the story. The story is supposed to be 2 novels - and TCOM is the first part. So yes, all those loose ends will be tied up. And I am eager to write further on and do just that!

Anyway. Below are some of the reviews by active bloggers. You can view more of these, plus other updates and interviews on my site - www.soumitrasingh.com
