The last book in the trilogy is perhaps the most entertaining one, with a racy plot and sufficient action where the readers get a vivid perspective on the events transpiring, and also regarding the motivations of certain characters. As usual, the book could've been more polished, because the author cannot help but preach even the most general of ideas, such as the myth of "Dasavatar" which affects the pacing of the story. Otherwise, this was quite fun as a mytho-fantasy thriller.
The readers are offered a credible backstory of Om Shastri's mysterious past, and it was interesting. The author plays with the idea of duality concerning the characters, drawing upon the archetypal motifs of good and evil. This helped in strengthening the plot as well as the actions of the characters. Apart from that, we are also given a reflective view into the hazy background of LSD, and it was quite the twist I must admit. Readers won't see it coming. The author made good use of India's mythographic locations, like Bhimkund, Pataalkot, of which I was unaware, and this made the story more relatable in terms of cultural celebration.
The action is abundant in the story, and it was definitely exhilarating towards the end. I also liked how Om was developing his uncanny powers, and his relation with Nibhisha was beautiful. The author tried to mix science in the plot, but, at the end everything converged on inexplicable magic and supernatural power. I would've liked the mix of both in perfect synchronization, but that was conspicuously absent from the story, other than vaguely hinting at super advanced technology.
The ending was surprising, and it is kept open for further stories to come, and if it does, I hope the author doesn't repeat the same formulaic pattern, and don't hop on the propaganda wagon in his later books. This series as a whole has fair amount of flaws - such as repetition, bland prose, info dump, and half-baked characters. It wasn't until the third book that we saw some development on that angle. I think that the author would've done better had he kept the characters a little grey, forgetting about "prithak byaktitwa" or separation of selves, which would've shown more complexity and the internal conflict within the immortals like Parasuram, and Aswatthama.
Rest said, I'll be on the lookout, if the author decides to dabble in more mythological fiction. I hope he takes the reviews in to consideration, and continue to polish his creative talents.

This is the third book of the Hidden Hindu Series.
The first book had a slow start and was just an introduction to the characters. The second book was fantastic, with a great plot. The third book was fast paced and interesting too!
Though the story is great there are some parts where cruelty and violence are at its peak which is not nice to read. Despite that, the revelations are intriguing and Om's true identity is fascinating. Overall, it is a good read and there are things that the reader can predict with ease.

After being considerably underwhelmed by the first 2 books in the series, found this one to be better.
A set of conspirators continue their quest to get hold of codes & an ingredient for immortality. The characters – Nagendra, Parashurama, Vrishkapi, Kripacharya, Ashwatthama, Milarepa & Om Shastri (the enigmatic character who was a prisoner in book 1) all continue to feature in the book. There is also the concept of perceived duality around Devdhwaja, which I found to be convoluted. The build-up and the climax itself are good.
The level of background research is good. The plot offered possibilities but as with the first 2 books, the writing is a let-down as is the poor character development. The emphasis is too much on a sensationalist plot, rather than on cohesive story telling.
My rating: 2.75 / 5.

The last part has the most potential. I like how everything got entangled together. And someone just how . It was multiyugas of madness. I am satisfied with the ending , it was executed immaculately.The character state of mind aren't expressed as good as it could be . Overall it was a good book. Looking forward to read more of it.

I'm usually polite in terms of my reviews but this book should be a lesson as to not write.
1. Juvenile writing
2. Terrible Plot
3. Assuming that celestial cameos will cover bad storytelling
4. No demarcation of vantage points
5. No idea how to wrap the book up.
Literally the worst book/series I've come across

Not bad.
Very few series improve with each book.Usually, they either stay the same or, in the worst scenario, go downhill.
I am not entirely convinced with the storyline, but that could just be me since I find retellings a little hard to digest.
It's a good attempt though.

OMG. What a ride. This series was the first to ever get me out of bed at 6 a.m. What a masterfully crafted tale, featuring Hindu mythology, culture, and religion as its foundation.
Prithvi begins the present-day story by telling Mrs. Batra a series of events that will ultimately lead to the revelation of her husband's death and Prithvi's search for a man named Om Shastri.
An Aghori is kidnapped and held in a secret, high-tech facility. When questioned further, he admits to being a witness to every major event since the Sat Yuga, including the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
This sets in motion a series of revelations concerning his background, as well as information about the four Yugas, the Ten Avatars of Vishnu, Milarepa (the only person in the world according to Buddhism to have climbed Mount Kailash), the seven immortals, Shukracharya, and many other figures from Hindu mythology.
The series' greatest strength is in the author's ability to give reasonable justifications for every plot point and event, and to keep the narrative from becoming monotonous at any time. Every few pages, a new discovery will cause your heart to rush. I couldn't put the book down because I had to know what happened to the Aghori and how Prithvi learned so much about him.
I recommend buying all three novels at once because each book ends on a cliffhanger. It's worth your time and effort.
Looking forward for Akshat Gupta's next book.

Reading all the hidden hindu parts, I came across many interesting facts about my hindu mythology. This book gave me a vast number of insights on hindu mythology and the important areas that are very interesting. Thanks to Akshat gupta for this book and making us realize where we come from and our history.

This book was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I was waiting for the release of this book. We get the answers for the questions from the first book. Who is om? And many others.
The author managed to keep the mystery of om's past and the reason for his presence all through the series without making the reader loose interest by giving bits and pieces in each book. I was thoroughly entranced with om's character and all the other immortals as well. I wish we had more time with them. I would have loved to know more about their past.
The first half of the book felt a bit info-dumpy compared to the rest of the book but it was still manageable. The second half of the book was where all the action happened. The war scenes was done well in some places may have dragged a bit.
On the whole, I was very satisfied with conclusion of the series. This is the first ever Indian mythology series that I truly love and was interested enough to not only finish the series in a short while but also gave most five-stars to.
I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone who wants a Indian mythology read with fast paced plot, thrilling adventures and mysterious characters.

1. The sudden character change. MORE LIKE CHARACTER DESTRUCTION OF NAGENDRA. How do you justify a serious character changing into a “Party Animal”. You might argue that it was because he gained immortality. But, that simply doesn’t fit the story. And that is not how character development works!
2. The cover deteriorated a bit too much in my opinion. The characters looked absolutely cartoonish. AND WHAT IS UP WITH THAT ZOMBIFIED “ASHWATHHAMA”?? And it is still beyond my understanding why you tried to establish Subhash Chandra Bose as Ashwathhama in the first place when IT WAS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT???
3. And the fact that Latika got another human incarnation right after her death, seemed kinda weird as it was previously established that a soul must wait for human reincarnation.
The last book was better than the first two. And it was bearable. The action was good.
I still regret buying and reading this trilogy though. I’m just glad that it’s over. Adios

Gripping action-oriented plot with unexpected twists and good character development as the story progressed towards the climax.
All in all, a refreshing take on Hindu mythology interwoven with India’s geography.

I have mixed feelings about this series. I didn't like the first book at all but it has elements that kept you hooked. It took sometime, but I decided to read the second book,now that was another story. The book was engrossing as hell. There were many hits and misses but the story telling and the myth behind the plot made the book a very impressive read. Then came along the third book, which was a very weird book. I liked the two-thirds of the book, but the final portion of the book was a major miss. The author just created a scene similar to the Avengers End game and he was playing pairing up with the characters. He was trying all possible combinations and permitations where he had to face off characters with each other, really felt weird. I mean, these are some powerful characters who were previously by manifestation of the divine, not some run off the hill villains. Sorry for the rant, but that final showdown was really unnecessary. It didn't sit well with me.
For all his misses, he really compensated by use of a really well crafted plot. The arc of the plot is very interesting but was ruined by the sub plots. It's like it was written by two different authors. The book is brutal at places with rich description but fails to tickle your imagination at certain places. The plot of the book is about the immortals and the end of the world. It is all I can say about the plot, anything else could be a spoiler.
The narration style could be best described as erratic. Aaah..it's s very confusing series. It's best described as a series that had all the right ingredients but still tasted bland. Saying this, I would love to read what the author has in store for us. His penchant for imagination is certainly unique.

What intrigued me:
The plot and story line is unique; out of box yet perfectly believable.
The book blends present with past, mythology with science, imaginations with beliefs, ancient Hindu scriptures and characters with modern technology and fiction!
The author's impeccable knowledge on various subjects, thorough research of mythology, vivid imagination and art of weaving mythology with science is phenomenal.
Those who are new to Indian mythology can get knowledge about mechanism of four yugas, gurus of gods and asuras, Dashavatar, introductory stories of 7 immortals of Hindu mythology (Ashwatthama, Mahabali, Ved Vyasa, Hanumana, Vibhishana, Kripacharya and Parshurama), stories behind various mysterious religious places across India, details of The tenth Avatar of lord Vishnu etc... etc..
What irritated me:
The fantastic plot of the book is ruined by mediocre writing style like a boring bollywood movie. Lack of depth in characters, absence of word building, poor editing, average action scenes, too much description, repetitive informations and hurried climax throughout series made the books less interesting.
Overall much better than The shiva trilogy but nowhere near The palace of illusion or The forest of enchantments.

I am not too liberal with my stars. Especially for Indian authors. This book, or better to say the book(s), the trilogy is something what I never expected. Akshat Gupta is my next favourite author whose book I wdnt even think twice before picking up. The way he has written explained and drew parallels for this book which is heavily and totally based in Indian Mythology is out of the world. Truth be told I was not planning to read this series, as I have continuity issues and I forget the plot. But this book is so well written that I just knocked 3 of them back to back. The way the story continues in a very steady pace, it has a pretty good build up, then comes the middle part of the story that gives you all the back stories and explanations of the mythology, prophecies and the last part of the book is where the explosions of twists and turns come. Overall I am so happy I picked up the book and I myself being a mythology nutter, this book satiated all my questions and needs for Hindu Mythology!

The final part of the series has a fantastic narrative. From start to finish, everything is concise and to the point, especially the descriptions of the wars, which are glorious. Each character is well-defined in this part. It's incredible how the author blends modern science with religious history. The story had me hooked from beginning to end, forcing me to turn the page to find out what happens next. The ending is one of the best conclusions I've ever read – it couldn't have been better than this. And, as Prithvi said, 'It's not over yet.' The suspense is building, leaving me curious.
August 5, 2024
I have read this trilogy. Have to say, this has been a page turner. The author introduces, develops and gets each character to the brim of their personalities in a wonderful manner. Also, the way in which the author has cleverly mixed fiction with the ancient prophecies/legends is truly impeccable. This series teaches a very important lesson.

Plot-wise, this finale was fire — fast-paced and full of twists.
The mythology was layered, and the reveals kept me hooked.
But the writing? Still rough and clunky in parts.
4⭐️ for the plot carrying it on sheer adrenaline.

So , I ended this book and I am again dumbstruck like I was in the last 2 parts.
This book was the continuation of the hidden hindu series and I was not expecting so many turn of events in this book.
The last few pages made me cry too , basically the om's identity and his purpose, maybe it happened because I was so connected from the start and I can't express in words how I felt that time. Also when I thought it would be the end of the series I saw the title of the last chapter - It is not over yet. I am glad that it is not over yet and I am totally waiting for another one.

I saw the hype about the book and purchased it thinking it would offer me a unique insight into mysteries of Hindu mythology, but it turned out to be really disappointing. I read all 3 books and I thought over the books the author's narration style would continue to improve, but it didn't. The narration is abysmal and loses it's coherent flow and contradicts a lot of things in hindu mythology. Lot of plot loopholes.
Lord Parashurama and Vedavyasa are Vishnu himself and they don't have any mystical powers except parashurama summoning divine weapons, but cannot anticipate or predict what's happening around him! He doesn't seem like a divine ascetic, but is reduced to a direction less person. Kripacharya, one or the wisest gurus also is reduced to a hot headed judgemental person, but suddenly all of them change to know it all at the end. The main protagonist is revealed to be Kalki, an avatar of one of the 3 supreme deities of Hindus, but he himself isn't aware of his own self other than him being an immortal. Gods are beyond human qualities of forgetting and being dumb. Lord Vishnu is reduced to just an immortal who doesn't know anything about himself. Wow! I'm amazed at how the author has so many loopholes in the story like how did Ravana, Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu come back from dead. Everyone knows they were guards in Vaikunta who were cursed by sages to be born asuras in 3 lives and took birth on earth with a boon that they could only be killed at the hands of Vishnu and after completing 3 lives, they'd return back to Vaikuntha and resume their guard duties. Novel says parshuram had a dark and evil side. I just read all three novels to find out the end and the end was horrible and clichéd. I definitely wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, I now feel like I wasted my money as I bought all 3 together.

Absolutely loved this book! It was full of actions... I was going through a lot of emotions throughout the readings....
This book is fantastically written, and I finished it in 4 days! It has been on my mind even after completing the book, it forced me to think what if this or that happened? So this book is definitely worth reading!
But I would still say that 2nd part of this trilogy happens to be my favourite 🙌🏻💗

The last book of the trilogy binds you to the adventures. The climax action thriller is a visual treat as the battle proceeds like a film reel. The last page turns out unexpectedly and the saga continues...

Every man takes 2 births in life. First, when he is born and the second, when he realises the purpose of his existence. Realizing the purpose of our existence can take as short as an eureka moment or as long as an entire lifetime. The first one might happen due to us being at the right place at the right time but for the second to happen, a war must be faught, not with the external world around us, but the internal self. Akshat Gupta's series of the next 2 books takes us into an absolute tale of a man reaching the zenith of life, fulfilling his purpose and ultimately realising what his birth meant after eons of agony and darkness. In pursuit of making life easier in every aspect, we fail to realize the true fruits of patience which ultimately connects us to our inner selves. Akshat Gupta brings out this simple yet profound ideology by carefully weaving all the events of his books in close relation to the events that actually take place in the world ( like the covid pandemic, Gujarat floods etc ) giving us a deeper sense of how the characters are involved with the ongoing proceedings. After the 1st book, the story entirely diverges into a plethora of each character's sub story all the while building their respective persona (unlike the abrupt endings of the characters of 1st book) and truly takes you to the point where you legitimately mourn for each of them as they pass away all the while reminiscing their lives in a flash. The excerpts from the eras of each yuga, and how each character's life is intertwined and spread across various timelines, the subtle journey each of the characters take in order to realize the ultimate truth, winning battles against their inner selves, a short trip down the memory lane for those of us who have forgotten the most spiritually and geologically important places of India, and ofcourse the chilling twist at the end which leaves you yearning for what's next.

The author tried his best to create a avengers scene by using characters from Hindu mythology.
And most wonderful thing of his life he did is planting homosexuality in the “Satyug” the oldest time according to the Hindu mythology. He had options to take it to any direction but he chose to please a specific community by portraying himself a person of modern thoughts.
If you want some entertainment then read them but being a nonfiction reader it’s was fully waste of time for me to read the trilogy but one thing I learned from these books is that I’ll never need to read any fiction based on any mythology either it is Hindu, Christian or Muslim.

The last part of the triology - The revelation of all the characters and their importance made the reading very interesting. The last and the most interesting part of the series is what was the most unexpected one. A very good read about hindu mythology with greater understanding of hindu mortals and immortals and their reason to save the world.

Dude just totally screwed up the ending. This trilogy fever is killing great stories with lots of potential. I still like the broader concept specially from book 1 & 2.. but 3 is just BAD!
