#amreading #DaniyalMueenuddin #ThisIsWheretheSerpentLives #booksky I'm on the final story. It turns out this book is not abt the corrupt Masters but abt the servant who's internalized the corruption 2 such a degree that he identifies more w/ the Master than w/ people from his own class. DEVASTATING.
