The book has caught attention of Indian readers as the first, major authentic fantasy by an Indian writer. Sarang Mahajan also writes Screenplays for TV shows. He is also fond of travel photography and travel writing..................The torso of the storyline is not something entirely new. Young Luwan turns out to be an extraordinary being but doesn't know so initially. As the novel progresses he is Chased after by monsters while gradually discovering his speciality. In Indian mythology books that are overrated I often found that the descriptions clearly were like Bollywood’s action scenes. That’s not negative but most authors overdo it. Sarang Mahajan however has balanced it perfectly. Pros of being a screen writer maybe but his world building technique is just too good. That being said I didn’t find the plot outstanding. The book was a page turner (because of the great narrative), however I felt like the pace speeded up way too much for me to follow. Had to reread those parts but even that was a pleasure. This is just his debut novel. I wish him luck with the rest of his career.
