I was recommended this book by GR because I liked "Alif the Unseen", unfortunately Redemption in Indigo doesn't come close to the reaction that I had with Alif. It's a retelling of an African folk tale and since I don't know the original, it's hard for me to evaluate it against it. What really bothered me with the book was the omniscient narrator and the narration style in general. At times it felt like the author wanted to modernize the folk tale and if this was the goal, I didn't think it was implemented successful.
