Reviews

[Arvind Yerram · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book continues from where the author has left in the volume 11. Detailed entry of the way on various days even including the various mini duels. As with many other versions, we hear some stories in few books and not in others. One such story which I was looking for is about the 5 Golden arrows which is missing in this version of the story. Neverthless, Sharath needs a good pat on the back for presenting so much. A lot more to go...
