When I first came across this book in the stands I thought it would be like a fairy tale. After that its sequel The Secret of the Nagas has been referred by my friend during our visit to the Landmark, a book store in Chennai. But my mind resisted without any reason even after he explained me that many of his colleagues had hold it in their hands. Then my cousin whom I consider to be an intellectual than rest of my close ones referred me the book.
This time I decided to go for it and bought the book through Flipkart. Making a story about a god, who has been worshipped all over the country irrespective of the regional difference, as a protagonist and writing an interesting novel about him isn’t that easier thing. But Amish did it exceptionally well in this book.
He takes us to the land of Meluhans with ease and his explanation to our ancient concepts then and there in the story was incredible. Particularly the Somras.. The way he portrayed the love between Sati and Shiva deserves a special mention. Also as a Tamilan i felt proud when in the story the characters say SangamTamil is the oldest of civilization.
If you are person who love to read fantasies in a realistic way just go for it. This book will entertain you for sure.
