Immortals of Meluha & The secret of the Nagas.
What a lovely simple story. And such an easy read that
I could finish reading both books in less than a month, while keeping an eye on
my 9 month old.
What I found interesting is that author has taken various
mythological characters and places and come up with an entirely new story about
them. Well, not entirely new, cuz it does has some references with the
mythology. But still it’s a different version altogether.
The name of the series is based on its protagonist Shiva -
who is worshipped today, but was a mortal some 4000 years back who did great deeds. It’s a story
about good - evil and how they are the two faces of the same coin. It’s a story
about faith, courage and righteousness.
It is fun to read and the suspense element keeps you
hooked. Some of the events do get predictable though and you can see them
coming as the narration progresses. Eagerly waiting for the third part to come
out – The Oath of the Vayuputras.
