Book Review of "The Secret Of The Nagas"



Read the book long back.... Here's the review!

"The Book takes of from where ‘The Immortals of Meluha’ the first book of ended.The plot is consistent and all the loose ends connect to a complete pattern. Story as before is fast-paced, you are eager to know what comes next.Other old characters such as Nandi, Veerbhadra and Drapaku have smaller roles, instead a Chandravanshi prince Bhagirath is the new character that has his own intriguing sub-plot. General Parvateshwar, Shiva’s trusted Suryavanshi aide from previous book, a vowed celibate has fallen in love (oops, a spoiler – but now you need to find out who).But on the downside,there was a slight overdose of Melodrama which could have been told in a more subtle way.But then again its just my opinion.Let's Hope the errors or lets say the minor goofs in this book are not repeated in the final part of the trilogy "The Oath Of The Vayuputras" and get a compelling Finale of the trilogy.

Synopsis of "The Secret Of The Nagas" - The Secret of the Nagas is filled with intrigue and surprises, much like the previous installment, The Immortals of Meluha. The story kicks off with Shiva trying to decipher the motives of the Nagas, a race of deformed assassins who have killed his friend Brahaspati and are targeting his wife Sati. His path of vengeance leads him right to the land of the serpent race, where he needs to find the man who's the mastermind behind the elaborate attack planned on Meluha.

Shiva's journey throws many surprises at him, as he learns about the secret lying dormant in Maika, a city in Meluha where the newly-born are raised, and as his trusted advisors leave his side, fueled by darker motives.

Will Shiva uncover the truth and vanquish the Chandravanshis and Nagas?
