SHIVA TRILOGY: SECRET OF THE NAGAS



SECRET OF THE NAGAS:

After coming to know about the exact meaning of HAR HAR  MAHADEV and a suspense locked first part i immediately grabbed a copy of the second part of the trilogy and really impressed from the first page of this book.

 This book starts from where the first part ends and introduces two really well built characters KALI and GANESH who domintates the almost the entire story and forget not to mention about the beautiful imagination of bringing parashuram as a bandit seeking his destiny.

Ofcourse the book became little dragging at parts though they remained like spots on a full moon . The readers find this book more connected to what our indian mythology says about lord shiva though the author carefully introduced the new concept of nagas into the story and perfectly unfolded their secret towards the end. Though the secret is revealed the intelligence of the authormakes us wait for the next book at the end of the story.

Personally i felt the lion episodes in the story are just a medium to introduce few important characters into the storyline.

IMMORTALS OF THE MELUHA


IMMORTALS OF THE MELUHA: this is my first review on a book so please bare with me.


Lord Shiva was my first super hero and i have a lot of fascination towards him and was waiting for a fiction novel on him ,,,, now after a lot of good reviews i decided to start with the first fiction novel on the destroyer" The Immortals of Meluha" .

it is a real page turner though at areas it has few silly and filmy resembelences but still the whole concept is very good and the author really gets applause for his thoughts,,and for the first time i came to know the real meaning of HAR HAR MAHADEV.

the characters are penned down very nicely and the narration is very good and the book reflects the ground work that has been done by the author. The story starts off about how shiva enters india and his realm and path in india and the author slowly opens how the legend is made into a god. Author maintained very good suspense which makes the book a real page turner and he maintains the suspense till the end.

The very few cons i came across is that the book goes really dramatic and filmy at areas. and as a final word amish really gets an applaude for this
