🌍My thoughts 🌍
Incarnation Messiah gripped me till the end, The way narrative was so rich yet deeply visionary was an enthralling experience. The story confines various topics that are deeply concerning and connected with our modern technology and it's grip on our minds. With that, it also weaves a tale of supernatural forces and clash between good and evil. Each chapter provided a small piece to the bigger picture, Deeply rich narrative and clear descriptions of places and people added more to the story, weaving an exact of picture of incidents. Our Messiah, his reason of birth, the circumstances leading to his need of existence , all are woven together in a complex web of hope, tragedy, betrayal, fear and fate. Royce or Alok, is at the centre of this intricate web. Being the Messiah, he has a destiny to fulfill, his presence, as portrayed by the narrator, was at times truly majestic. I was rooting for him all the way! And his connection with his peers and people connected to him added a warmth to his character. His best friend, Kayden, his upbringing, and different variety of creatures, Beckoned his character development beautifully.
The story has a multi variety of characters, jumping from their povs in the same descriptive narrative. Each character added more and gave way to the ultimate conclusion, The mystery about the fate of characters was maintained which later shocked me after certain things came to light.
Then there's Oceanna, a world beyond human understanding, Posing as the ultimate spiritual realm where variety of creatures and forces of nature are compelled to maintain their existence and conclude the path in Messiah's purpose. Oceanna really painted a vivid magical realism in the story, Though strangely familiar in its core essence.
The pace is surprisingly perfect for its contents, though fast paced readers might find it slow at times, I'll say it's pace actually played a role describing events and introducing characters well.
The antagonist had a depth in character too, all were well introduced and kept the thrill and uncertainty of term of events alive, making the story more suspenseful about it's conclusion.
The Ending of the strong blew my mind, I was not expecting it at all, but that meant this novel was just a beginning to Our Messiah, Aloke's journey, he has a long way ahead. Surely his existence is still persistent for the upcoming events.
Some quotes I love from it are–
“This was going to be the war to end all wars "
" There weren't evil at the beginning of creation. For evil was not a creation of its own. It was created in the minds of mankind. "
"Even if evil ceases to exist, it is up to man to extinguish evil in his own imagination. "
This is that kind of novel where words fell short to describe the experience, because the experience is a whole journey to reader, where animals, fruits, vegetables, all creation created in nature are presented and play a part in the bigger picture. Though a thrilling science fiction yet contains fantasy and magical realism vibes, very rare for a novel to mix these two genres in a perfect blend , creating a well curated masterpiece. Frankly, I can say, Incarnation Messiah: Mind control fungus has more to offer than just judging it on its name, it's well planned and full of thrills and plot twists for readers. And I can see it as a classic literature hundred years from now, just like 1984 or Animal farm. Because it has that kind of potential.
In short, Incarnation Messiah: Mind control fungus is a ride full of thrilling experience full of spiritual and scientific enigma that will keep you at the edge of your seat. It will provoke your thoughts in the best possible way that is needed, and will evoke your inner nature's essence. If you love a thrilling adventure, well written and truly wonderful , then this one is for you.
