reading & ranking indian thrillers & mysteries 🇮🇳 reading vlog | Age of Vice, Black River

[@ankitagoswami9401]

Thanks for the reviews! Have been meaning to read 'Black River' and 'Legal Fiction'. I DNF'd 'Age of Vice' at around the 60% mark, not because it wasn't engaging, but because I felt it was extremely derivative.

[@SantReads]

Yeah totally feel you. The 60% mark was where I found it to be dragging as well. But I read it really fast to just get it over with. So hence I was okay I think. Lol

[@josmith5992]

Ok, so Black River is going on the TBR straight away! I’ve headed a few mixed reviews about Age of Vice and not sure about the Trilogy aspect but if you liked it then …🤔

[@SantReads]

Yeah I know what you mean. Maybe wait for the second book to come out and see then.

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

I'm very curious about age of vice! Wish the hardcover copy was cheaper though 🙃

[@SantReads]

Omg right?? This book in India is super expensive too. 😢

11:30 To quote Hrithik Roshan in ‘Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon’: “HI, AUNTIE!”

[@SantReads]

Lolll she was like pls stop filming

[@PokhrajRoy.]

My hot takes about ‘Age of Vice: - The font is giving ‘Knives Out’. - It’s definitely getting adapted or it’s been considered as an adaptation.

[@SantReads]

I think it's already bought to be an adaptation by FX.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@SantReads OHOHOHOHO

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

BRO!!! I remember you reviewing this book and I came looking for this video! 😂😂😂😂 I have the exact same issue you started the video with! Plus khatir ko khatir bolne mein jaan ja rahi uski. TF is 'cut-eer'???? 😂

[@SantReads]

Hahahahahaha i know right? Also, beware of the middle portion. Best to finish it off quickly like I did. It really freaking drags

[@PokhrajRoy.]

24:06 I’m Team ‘Dust Jackets should be abolished’ usually.

[@SantReads]

I mean not abolished completely, but yeah not while you're reading

[@muskaan3711]

While you're talking about Black River in the beginning, are you wearing WithCindy's merch that says "Yearning"? 😮

[@SantReads]

Hahaha I am!!!

[@muskaan3711]

@@SantReads wow that's so cool! I didn't know they shipped internationally.

[@SantReads]

@@muskaan3711 they do and it was very expensive 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Lmao the cold open is sending me 😂 To quote Kevin Hart: “She wasn’t ready.”

[@SantReads]

Hahahahhahaa 😂

“What is the point of y’all?” - Teachers before they go on the ‘You’re the worst batch’ spiel.

[@SantReads]

Lol

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I would suggest watching the BooksOnToast Episode with Vivaan Shah who recommended some interesting Indian Writing in crime fiction/thriller.

[@SantReads]

Oh yaaaaaa. Forgot about that episode.

[@owlwaysthinking2141]

I'm waiting for Black River to come out in hardcover ngl

[@SantReads]

You mean in paperback? It's already out in hardcover.

[@owlwaysthinking2141]

@@SantReads Yes! That's exactly what I meant 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Gurgaon is such rich fodder for literature. You could write anything and yet truth will be stranger than fiction.

[@SantReads]

This is true!
