Readers willing to persevere through some unnecessary stretches of text and overlook the grammar issues will find some rewards here."

Descriptions of modern-day Kashmir blend well with Tarun’s interactions with Ganesha and his voyage through the Veiled Lands. Ganesha’s Temple never gets bogged down by the weight of its own considerable goals."
