Posted in BookWorld by

Hello All,

To keep things interesting, I have decided to do a round-up of books read every week and share some insight into the books I liked best and those which did not live up to expectations (though I am sure this is very less so far!).

So here is the list of books read in the last week, from 11.01.2021 (Sunday) until 16.01.2021 (Saturday).

 

 

This duology is definitely worth reading and describes one of the best heists and revenge plots that I have come across with wonderfully crafted characters who are ruthless and still honorable in their own way. A must read series!

 

 

 

 

 

This fast paced book has so many plots and sub plots and sub sub plots that it is hard to keep track, but important all the same. I love that there are so many aspects to the story that add value to the entire story! In the end, the book will leave the reader wanting more! I have never felt so happy after having read a book and this series has done this and more! It has left me raving and talking about it even after finishing the books!

 

 

 

 

In conclusion, this book is worth the read as is the entire series! The Vikramaditya Veergatha proves to be a treasure trove of mystery keeping the reader guessing until the very end! The readers are in for a treat and eventually arrive at a conclusion that will satisfy everyone with strong characters fighting to save humanity against all odds!

 

 

 

The Newlyweds

 

 

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was truly shocked by some of the revelations. I would never have guessed at anything that happened. This is the beauty of the story telling and I highly recommend this book for fans of psychological thrillers!

 

 

 

 

Do share your thoughts and the books read in the last week! 🙂 Have a great weekend and week ahead!

Book Review: The Vengeance of Indra (Vikramaditya Veergatha #3) by Shatrujeet Nath

Posted in Book Reviews by

About the Book:

VENGEANCE IS A CAGE. FORGIVENESS IS FREEDOM.

In their greed to possess the deadly Halahala, the devas and the asuras have employed every dirty trick against Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine. But the humans are still standing, bloodied but unbowed.

When the wily Shukracharya discovers the secret to breaking the Council’s unity and strength, he forges an unlikely alliance with his arch-enemy, Indra, to set a deceitful plan in motion.

As cracks emerge between the councilors and their king, ghosts from the past threaten to ruin Vikramaditya and Kalidasa’s friendship, signaling the beginning of an eclipse that will cast a long shadow over all that Vikramaditya holds dear. And into this shadow steps Indra, bearing an old grudge – and a devastating new weapon.

How much longer before the Guardians of the Halahala finally fall apart?

My Thoughts:

Once again my heartfelt gratitude to the author for reaching out to me regarding this series!

The Vengeance of Indra is Book 3 in the Vikramaditya Veergatha series. It picks off where Book 2 ends and maintains a steady pace throughout. With cracks forming in the bonds between the councilors in the court of Vikramaditya, it feels as though everyone is starting to forge their own path. Having been sent away, Shukracharya formulates a major plan to wreak havoc in the minds of the humans. To achieve this, he proposes an alliance between the devas and asuras.

With everyone’s focus shifting from the true purpose of protecting the Halahala and sticking together, jealousies come to the surface along with anger and pain among other negative emotions. The author has done a wonderful job with the story and the way it has been brought forward! There are so many many many twists that the reader will be left reeling in shock and trying to comprehend the situation. This is how I felt many times while reading the book, but I loved it!

The beauty of the story lies in it’s characters. Vikramaditya’s personality traits are those which we aspire to have in ourselves. With no fault of his own, he is placed in a situation where being true to his duty, leads to mistrust among his people, his family and those closest to him. The author brings out these contrasts in character traits very well while subtly teaching us some very valuable life lessons!

 This fast paced book has so many plots and sub plots and sub sub plots that it is hard to keep track, but important all the same.

I have never felt so happy after having read a book and this series has done this and more! It has left me raving and talking about it even after finishing the books!

Book 4, here I come! I cannot wait to know what happens in the conclusion to this epic tale!

Patience is a Drawn Bow.
Rage, its Relentless Arrow.

Shukracharya’s plan to break the unity of Vikramaditya’s Council has borne bitter fruit. Friends have become sworn enemies, and brother has turned against brother, setting Avanti on the path to self-destruction.

Even as Vikramaditya prepares to counter a Huna invasion, a rebellion brews within Ujjayini, while a devious conspiracy is hatched to humiliate him. With Indra’s spies swarming the palace and Shukracharya making a bold bid to take the Halahala, the king is dangerously close to the brink of defeat.

Alone and abandoned by those dear to him, fighting to protect his wife and his people, trying his best to keep his promise to Shiva, will the Samrat rise one last time to defend his love, his city and his honour?

As the asura and deva forces muster in a final, desperate gamble to claim the Halahala, The Wrath of the Hellfires brings an explosive conclusion to Vikramaditya’s epic tale of action and adventure.
