Writer: Amish Tripathi
Genre: Fiction
The third and the final part of the Siva trilogy(Immortalsof Meluha being the first and The secretof the Nagas being the second) is like ordering an exquisite local cuisine and
getting a sandwich in return. Not sure if the metaphor makes any sense but yeah
compared to my expectations, the book was a total let down.
As Siva reaches Panchavati-the land of Nagas, he finally
gets the answer to the question that haunts him - what is evil? Nevertheless he
decides to get a second opinion to his answer and the Vasudevs help him in this
quest. When he ventures to destroy evil he has to battle the very same people
who made him God. And his adversary is not just another human but a person of extraordinary
capabilities. Will he succeed?
Three quarters of the book is about war and when I reached
the climax it is such a dud that I felt terribly cheated. I was expecting more!
Much much more! Finish the book if you do not leave books/stories mid-way else
I would probably ask you to skip it.
p.s. Amish Tripathi is probably the only Indian author who
has had a heavy pre-order booking for the final part of his trilogy.
