REVIEW ON STORY:

            Well the story begins with introduction of Shiva near Manasovar Lake and he was invited to Meluha (land of Suryavanshis) by Nandi where he became the Neelkanth, the God of Gods. He then falls in love with Lady Sati and came to know about the evil Chandravanshis and the Nagas. The somras manufacturing factory at Mount Mandar in which Brahaspati was killed and Shiva revenged for it by defeating Swadweep, the Chandravanshis and later realises that it was the Nagas attack to destroy the somras. He then travels to Kashi with Sati where Karthick was born and then comes to know about the Nagas origin and the Emperor action while a Naga child was born to Sati. The hooded figure known as Lord of People was the Naga child born to Sati named Ganesh. Sati also has a Naga sister named Kali who was abandoned by her father the Emperor Daskha. Everybody lives as a family and travel to Panchavati to know the secret of Nagas. In panchavati he meets Brahaspati and knows about how the somras became evil and kills many lives in Branga. Then he teams up with other kingdoms and destroys the evil somras in Meluha in which he lost his love, Lady Sati. He also gets help from the Vasudev Pandits and Vayuputras to destroy the evil somras and preserve it until the somras is wanted for the good. After losing his love, he became sad and never laughed. He lived up to his destiny with Sati’s memory and died in Mount Kailash.

            

            The author Amish has a very interesting narrative style. The story is based on the Indian mythology and all the character names are familiar which are heard in the stories of Gods. The three volumes have many interesting lines which can be accepted by all kind of people. All is about the somras and the Neelkanth were the main storyline revolves around.

                            It is one of the books which must be read. Overall the book is commercial thrillers were in each scene the suspense is allow to grow and keep the readers guessing the next scene. The clues given to Shiva by Vasudev Pandits makes us understand the life and our surroundings we are related to. Most lines can be applicable to our present lives. The books are awesome and interesting to read. The Secret of Nagas is the most interesting book of the three were most of the secrets are revealed. Amish portray Shiva and Sati in the best ways possible. The narrative style with simple English giving the pause at the right places makes the book as the wonderful one.

Conclusion :This trilogy is great if you like Indian mythology; well written it is an enjoyable read.

My favourite lines:

• The opposite of Love is not hate, it is apathy.

• What do you think a person who is giving all this in her transactions with society wants in return? - ‘Respect’

• She gets many things from the people who love her. What she doesn’t get is what she craves the most — Respect.

Rating: 4.7 out of 5
