The oath of the Vayuputras by Amish (Book review 11/10)

The oath of the Vayuputras by Amish

The third book of the Shiva Trilogy by Amish and the bulkiest of all was fun to read but it was not as exciting as the earlier two parts. I think this was to encompass all the myths or realities (let Shiva be the judge himself) circumventing the story of Shiva. So Mr. Amish who stayed free of anything had to give in the last part wherein he can’t give the happy ending. Of course the end is apt enough but still the urge to ratify some of the truths scientifically and the pure imagination are spiced by the realities which are I think dear to all. So I admit it was not all that fun to read this part as we can see the end coming in. But this being the last part was a compulsion to the eager mind and I had to read it to quench the thirst of curiosity. Various parts are sewed together nicely and still it is fun reading them I liked the flow of the text though the scenes changed every now and then and it’s difficult to maintain the flow when we have to piece a huge tale together. I recommend fully this book to all the Shiva lovers as it brings in the conclusions.

The Secret of the Nagas by Amish (Book Review 9/10)

The Secret of the Nagas by Amish

The second book in the Shiva Trilogy by Amish; it is really enchanting book and hard not to finish it in 1-2 sittings. It starts from where the first book “Immortals of Meluha” left the readers. Traversing through the incidents and discovering various characters that fit like the puzzle pieces and together creating the marvel in the readers mind. The book also contains some Bengali touch when the younger brother calls his elder brother ‘Dada’, quiet amusing as the first part contained some south Indian part as ‘idlies’ being served in breakfast. So we can see quiet an amusing way of thinking the various details and that too without cluttering readers mind with unnecessary details and always concentrating on the main plot and revealing some of the many mysteries and weaving some more to intrigue the readers and make them glued to the book. So I again stress for all the readers a must read for all the Shiva lovers and for non-lovers too for who knows when the love starts to kick in and making its place or actually claiming it for love is polar so the opposites do attract.
