Review

The Patomskiy Crater by Khemkarann is a story of Six young Americans from affluent families who decide to take a trip to Patomskiy Crater, a peculiar rock formation shrouded in mystery, located in a remote area of south-eastern Siberia. Alarms are raised when they don’t return to the base town of Bodaybo, and when the search teams set out. What happened there? what will happen next?

The plot of the story is set with mystery and thriller. The twists and turns that the author added, the Nail-biting moments will be witnessed by the reader. The storyline of the story is wonderfully developed by the author.

The narration of the story is crisp and gripping keeping the reader hooked throughout. It’s a 400+ pages book which could have been a Lil shorter with proper editing. At places, the narration is too dragged making the reader tedious.

It’s a bit slow-paced story. I wish it could have been a Lil fast-paced. Themes like Mystery and thriller are used by the author to make it an interesting read. There are drama and dialogues which keeps the reader invested in.

The language used by the author is simple and relatable. For the first few chapters, it’s a bit difficult to connect with the story but later it’s amazing. The writing style of the author is Lucid and engaging.

The way the author sequenced the events is commendable. With every chapter, the mystery unfolds joining the puzzle. The author built the right amount of excitement among the reader. The characters that the author made are strong and well developed.

The cover could have been much better. The title is interesting making the reader curious to know about it. Overall, It’s an intricate, scary and ruthlessly suspenseful, and a wonderful read. A heavy read.
