The Secret of the Nagas review

The Secret of the Nagas by Amish Tripathi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow!!! Spell-bounding book . I never thought it would be such a great novel , finished it in one day :D . I couldn't put it down , till I finished it :) . The story line was placed pretty nicely and there were some twists and turns that I didn't see coming but they were great . Also , the message that this book sent through Shiva's story is very relevant and applicable in today's world and in our lives. The fact that good and evil is within us and its our choice to choose from them is nicely told in this story . The fun aspect comes from totally opposite personalities of General of Meluha and Princess of Swasdeep. Really happy to find this trilogy , got everything in it . Can't wait to start the third book :).

The Immortals of Meluha review

The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After a long time I read a book from an Indian author and I have to say I wasn't disappointed :) . This novel is written in very simple language and used Indian mythology which was pretty cool idea because I was able to connect with it very quickly :). Once I was able to forget the actual story of Lord Shiva and read it as it was written without trying to verify the facts it was great reading :).
This novel also provided some insights into how we can turn ourselves into destroyer of evil :) . It is pretty much relevant to what we all are facing currently in our world. A nicely written story of how a tribal person went on to become a Mahadev and fight against evil and humble enough to accept his mistakes :). Can't wait to start the second book in this series :).

The Oath of the Vayuputras

The Oath of the Vayuputras by Amish Tripathi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Well I was just a bit disappointed with the final book in the Trilogy , it was not as good as the first two books , specially the second book which was awesome with pace and story line. The fact that a lot of space and time was given to describe a lot of structures in different places . I have to say at one point I got lost in the names of the places. Also the fact not much was told about the lab for Somras which was the main point in the last part was a bit of a downer . It was as if Amish just wanted the story to end a bit quickly by using the weapon . I don't mind reading a long book but the pace should be nice , it should not end too hastily . Also , I couldn't understand why Sati gave two different messages to her sons . I mean I couldn't understand this part . Sati was the hero of this book according to me  and the use of the weapon by Shiva to avenge her death showed his human side and love for his wife . Overall , a good trilogy , never thought something like this would come from an Indian author , no disrespect to Indian authors :) . I am glad I was surprised by this Trilogy :) :). Easy and simple style to writing and pretty easy to connect with today's world and our lives . As the author showed in the trilogy , Har Har MahaDv ( Each one is God ) :) :).
