Shiva Trilogy - Amish


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.
