The 8th Karachi Literature Festival wrapped up yesterday.

Each year, the annual lit fest sees Karachi's bookworms dedicate the weekend to the written word.

Expectations are always high from the festival — let's see what were the final thoughts of the festival's fans this year.

Some appreciated the inclusivity of the festival.

Some pointed out a few crucial lackings.
