This small part describes Parthiban's dreams and his demise.

Listened to an audio book. When I heard LoTR background score in some parts of this audiobook, got irritated...

Kalki makes one theme very strong in this part 1 , which is the burning passion of the chola king. Initially it is shown as helplessness which he expresses to his wife the queen Arulmozhi. I Felt that pain in him not seeing him as a king but as a father or as a husband, how much this could have impacted the opposite person close to him. Kalki always makes this name ' Arulmozhi ' a special one, so in this novel too it was made memorable. The queen choosing parthiban over pallava King, the lovely bond they share between each other, the angst of their much needed separation was just well flushed out. The king being guilty as to whether he is worthy of the queen's sacrifice of choosing him over a king from bigger dynasty gives us a perspective of his insecurities too. This made him so close & relatable. The valiance shown in the war, stepping into it knowing the end, biding farewell to his son engraving his desires in Vikraman's heart adds a strong spine to the story. The cute romance & understanding between the couple " ponnan & valli" adds colour to the beautiful setting by kalki.

எழுத்தாளர் கல்கி அவர்களின் கற்பனைத்திறன் அனைவரும் அறிந்தது. வரலாற்று உண்மையின் பின்னணியில் தனது புனைவை அவர் கதையாக கொடுப்பது பல எழுத்தாளர்களுக்கும் எளிதில் அமைந்து விடாத கலை. ஆரம்பத்தில் மெதுவாக தொடங்கும் கதை பின்னர் வேகமெடுக்கிறது. ஆனால் பொன்னியின் செல்வன் போன்ற பெரிய நாவலில் இருக்கும் சாகசங்கள் குறைந்தும் சென்டி மென்டுக்கு அதிக அளவில் முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுத்தும் இருப்பது போல தோன்றுகிறது.

An inspiring story. One of THE best tamil novels. It portrays friendship love and responsibility of a ruler. But revenge is the emotion that gets more importance. Way the story has been taken forward makes the reader feel he has also lived in that generation along with the king. I would rate it as the second best tamil novel since ponniyin Selvan has taken the first place. Hats off to the author kalki

This short book is to introduce the Chola characters and should be read before ponniyin Selvan. The kingdom’s capital is the present day “Woraiyur”. Goosebumps moment when I read Woraiyur was a bigger city than Tiruchirappalli at the time!! Hailing from Tiruchirappalli, I’m excited for the rest of the book.
