Well written ... Connecting present with our history... Engaging story

[Rohit · Rating 4 out of 5]

As I have written in one of the earlier reviews, this trilogy is no historical or mythological fiction as it does not have a single fact, but the story is gripping and will have you at the edge of your seat from the word go, I appreciate the way the author has never stepped off the gas throughout these three books but at times you get a feeling that there are way too many superlatives used to describe the protagonist and it's done way too often during the course of the story narration.

It left me wondering if the author was trying to be funny or did he actually meant it as part of the story, ap sha gun for apshakun, LOKnaas for the lokness monster, manushya's for Manu's shishyas are some of the references that could have been avoided as it took away the seriousness of the plot, for a moment you are visualizing doomsday and the next you know it LOKnaas has reared it's head.

The depiction of Trijat kapalik, apdhagun and NARAmunda and also the evil Vivasan poojari were so well done that I could visualize them right infront of me and on more than one occasion I was scared of the dark thanks to sheshnaag.

All in all I'll definitely pick up the next book from this author for sure, good job.

Let me start by saying, normally I love this genre. But somehow this triology failed to engage me. For someone who hasn't read this already, please do not read the prologue or introduction.

The story did not have a conclusion, finality or even a proper climax. I feel 3 books were totally unnecessary. There was so much suspense over a prophecy which was not that significant in this triology (maybe in the next series).

The protagonist (Vidyut) does nothing extraordinary throughout the triology, eventhough the author has tried to convince otherwise.

There were too many stories from different timelines which only created confusion.

All the three books are worthy of a nice prologue for the next book. The real story will start (hopefully) there.

For me, when the phrase "I am half human, half God" propped up, it has been a disappointing road. No real explanation of this term is ever given, we just have to accept he IS half God. Why?, When?, How? Nothing is explained.

Vineet Bajpai builds a beautiful narrative around the original Hindu beliefs and Hindu history. This book however, feels dragged about in the 3rd part of the series where you feel almost half of the pages are repetition of something or the other from the previous two books.
Mr Bajpai also looks confused at places to carry the story or to introduce Sanatana Dharma to the world, which is the secondary objective of this book. I felt an overdose of this Hindutva in the book, which was ok in the context at places but seemed unnecessary at most of the other places.

[Anand Doijode · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author has interwoven the Hindu mythology with fiction masterfully. The suspense and build-up is good. But, most of the time the story feels dragged.
If you are new to Hindu mythology, give it a go. If you are familiar with the Hindu Mythology, you'll be able to guess the ending from miles away.
3.5 star rating.
