The story of a group of teens who felt alone and ran off to join an extremist group to feel a sense of community. The characters were crucial to the story, but unfortunately I didn't really feel much for them. Unfortunately I think my enjoyment took a massive hit as a consequence. I'm sure others will have a much better time than I did. I did enjoy the inclusion of technology as I feel like these kinds of books often ignore it, when in reality it has massive impacts.

The Shadow of the Crescent Moon was a great fictional read for those interested in stories that connect.

The setting of this novel, Afghanistan, is a setting I do not know much about. The author did an incredible job of describing the setting and life in Afghanistan during the American invasion. I felt fully engrossed with the characters Fatima Bhutto introduced and I felt the need to continue reading this book. I was invested in this novel.

However, I did find this novel rather boring. There wasn't much action or adventure in this fictional novel. It moved incredibly slowly, and when the "action" did hit I was expecting it. There wasn't any twists or turns that left me grasping on for more. It seemed to just be a quality, "normal" fiction novel. There was nothing that made it stand out to me, other than the incredible setting.

I did enjoy this novel, I just felt like it didn't leave me feeling like "wow, I need to read more books by Fatima Bhutto immediately". The novel left me feeling like I gained a little more knowledge on Afghanistan and could now put this book on my shelf.

Fatima Bhutto did an incredible job writing, and I do like this book. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a calm fiction read or anyone who is interested in Afghanistan in fiction.

Three out of five stars.

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

Good effort by the author to piece together her father's life but the writing was a bit chronologically messy. She is also obviously biased towards her father so may have to read the book with a pinch of salt.
