Review of Shiva Trilogy



Recently I read “Oath of the Vayuputras” by Amish hence finished Shiva trilogy by the author. First and second instalments of the book I already finished in Mumbai last year. First part – The immortals of Meluha was a promising start of the trilogy.
Usually in any book initial few pages were wasted in introducing characters and preparing plots but here Imortals of Meluha will surprise you with its gripping pace even from first page.
Personally “secret of nagas” was my favourite of lot. Few lines that i like in trilogy are:
1.                  Time is never the problem when you battle evil. The problem is the will to fight it.
2.                  The question is not “what is evil”? The real question is “when does good become evil?”
3.                  Sometimes there can be good people on both sides of a war.
4.                  Just because we don’t understand something doesn’t necessarily mean it is rubbish.
5.                  Words can only be as good or bad as the thoughts they convey.
6.                  Weak people never admit that they are responsible for their own state. They always blame either circumstances or others.
Final Rating:
1.                  Immortals of Meluha: 3.5/5
2.                  Secret Of Nagas:4.5/5
3.                  Oath of vayuputras:3/5
