My
personal opinion, already expressed, in my previous reviews of author Amish
Tripathis books has been, he is an awesome author, he has picked up the vastly
neglected genre of Indian mythology and he has a very deft interweave of
storyline and fiction and culture. I thought there were some areas which he
could improve on. He has vastly improved over his first 2 books.
This
is the 3rd book of the Shiva trilogy. These were the books where
Amish was checking his forte his boundaries, trying to refine them.
Being
his ardent fan I yet criticized his penchant for going into detail of every
scientific experiment.
In
this book, Amish really came into the flowing, narratives that he is now famous
for.
This
book has a multitude of Indian mythology characters, and very nice interweave
of mythological fables and a human narrative.
Shiva,
the favourite Hindu God, Neelkanth, finally reaches his destination, where his
destiny and arch nemesis is revealed.
Shiva
gathers his forces, his Nagas and also the Vayuputras. The final battle.
In
fact forget everything else, all the pages, all the 2 previous books, this book
is worth the buy and read just for the description of the final battle, the
emotions of Shiva and the description of the weapons used and the war.
A definite must buy and must read.
