[Sample Chapters Review] The Exiled Prince - Ravi

After enjoying The Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi, though its end didn’t suffice my expectations, I am developing a kind of interest in reading such mytho-thrillers. When I was searching for more of such genre The Aryavarta Chronicles by versatile Krishna Udayasankar, a trilogy of Mahabharata retelling, caught my attention. Its two books - Govinda and Kauravas - are available in markets. I am fully intentional to read this trilogy whenever its concluding book - Kurukshetra - will be released. The thing that is similar in these series and the factor that fascinated me is the authors had depicted Indian Gods and Goddesses as normal human beings with their exciting adventures.

[Book Review] The Rithmatist - Brandon Sanderson

Circumstances were odd, really odd when I picked up this book to read. After all, who do you expect to read a novel during preparation leave? I did. Either it was boredom from engineering books or my fate that compelled me to read something else. And, what could be better than the first book of the brand new series by Brandon Sanderson!

The Rithmatist, is a compelling piece of Young fantasy that delivers the whole way through. Sanderson hits all the right notes when it comes to all the usual YA themes; coming of age, the meaning of true friendship, loyalty, perseverance, and even a didactic against bullying. As expected in a Sanderson novel, the magic system is completely unique. The basic idea is that specially gifted individuals can write complex diagrams which control chalk drawings (called “chalklings”). At times the magic system is overly complicated, but it’s original and by the end of the book it all comes together quite masterfully.

[Book Review] The Rozabal Line - Ashwin Sanghi

It's a first read of 2013. I picked it up because of two reasons. First, people on goodreads were stating that India has its own Dan Brown as Ashwin Sanghi. Second, it was 12-12-2012 and Flipkart was providing a pretty good discount on all items. That's the reason I bought Ashwin Sainghi's box-set.

It's my first full-length review. I'll try my best not to reveal spoilers.

The Rozabal Line is a theological thriller where author through various characters of diverse religions wants to prove that Jesus survived during crucifixion and somehow migrated to Kashmir, India. He believed that Jesus spent his rest of life in India and carried on his bloodline.
