My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed the first part and really liked how the book gives us a recap about what happened earlier. Every page has a plot twist which will surely keep the readers on edge throughout the book. The thrill and action throughout the book makes it even more interesting and there are times when the readers will actually be surprised by the sudden turn of events. I must say that the author has done in-depth research while writing the plot of the series. It is a perfect blend of mythology and action. 

Characters are well developed. Each and every character has a major contribution in this battle. We also get to see that many lives get affected during a battle and the ultimate result is it is emotionally exhausting.  I liked how the author has given equal importance to all the characters and how the author has also given us some glimpses of Mahabharata and Ramayana through this story.

Language is simple and lucid. The narration is done beautifully and the flow of the story is perfect. I must say that I was curious throughout the book to know what is going to happen next. The book cover and the title of the book are apt to the plot. 

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and I would surely recommend it to all.

Rating: 5🌟
