The Secret of the Nagas by Amish Tripathi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Second book in series of the Shiva trilogy, this book is a definite upgrade in all terms. The story unfolds slowly and steadily, a lot of important characters have been introduced, without discounting on anyone's importance or detailed view.
The story continues from where we left at the First part, and takes you to a journey of some of the most prominent and well known parts of ancient India viz. Kashi, Panchwati, swadeep . . .
The build up to characters have been very well portrayed with each character emphasizing on one part of Good or Evil as we pursue it. The emotional conflict, the pride, the valour, the survival instincts, rage, betrayal, all building up for a near perfect climax.
We have all grown up reading about ancient Indian wisdom , and that part has been well portrayed and logically covered , whether it being the Medication, Hygiene, Diet or the awesome pulley based gates on the mighty Ganga.
New Characters have been revealed and some shocking revelations have been made, making up for slightly loose threads in the first part (which I think have been deliberately left open).
Amish Tripathi has really built up a new genre and lived to the expectations. What more, he's successfully kept readers spellbound waiting for the final part of the Trilogy [The Oath of the Vayuputra].
