Shrinivas Gaikwad, born in 2000, is an Indian fantasy writer still trying to find his footing in the world of self-publishing while balancing a full-time career as a software engineer. He hopes to complete this trilogy someday—and maybe, just maybe, earn the right to drop the word unavailing from his self-assigned pseudonym.

When he isn’t writing or working, he’s usually trying to stay fit or experimenting with musical instruments like the kalimba, violin, and whatever else catches his attention. More often than not, though, he ends up scrolling through YouTube, trying to decide what to watch next—and yes, that counts as a hobby now.

"Needs Better Editing; Interesting Story

The Ninth Knell of Peace has an interesting magic system: you give up memories for power. The story switches between several points of view, so it can take time to get settled into the story. I like the idea of " Read more of this review »
