2. The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera

I’m listening to the audiobook, and the reader is fantastic. The writing is lovely, very literary and the opening is outstanding. However, I’m still on the fence about the story because the pace is somewhat uneven and I’m still a little unsure at a dozen chapters in what the main character’s story actually is. It’s a debut novel, though, so I’m giving it space to develop. Here’s a review:
