The second thing that I loved about this book is the story so now like I said in the beginning the story is actually quite simple it's quite a simple plot so to speak but the way Amish Tripathi has crafted it it gets you hooked and I'm not saying that this book doesn't have flaws He's very diligent in explaining why certain things happen within the kingdom he's also like gone into extreme details about like the different cities that we visit in the book like he meticulously describes each city like the roads the way the city is built how its governed the people like he's described them in such detail that it was really very interesting to read and it was so nice to see that he's not been superficial about those parts of the bookĢ. The world-building the details in which Amish Tripathi has gone to establish that the rules and history of this land that he's created in his books is very very interesting

So actually the story is quite simple but there was still a couple of things that I really liked about this book so let's jump into them.ġ. The Sooryavanshi's believed that the only way that they can rid the world of the evil Chandravanshi's is with the help of a savior who they call the neelkant enter Lord Shiva who might just be that Savior so then basically the story evolves as Lord Shiva and a bunch of other characters go on these adventures as Lord Shiva is trying to live up to this legend. The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi, I know this book is extremely famous so a lot of you might have already read it but for those of you who haven't the premise of this book is basically that it's a story that is set in ancient India during the time of the Indus Valley Civilisationĭuring that time in the world of this book India is divided into two empires the Meluhan Empire which is ruled by the Sooryavanshi and the swadeepan Empire which is ruled by the Chandravanshi and of course the Sooryavanshi and the Chandravanshi don't get along they're like constantly warring with each other Genre:Novel, Fantasy Fiction, High fantasy, Fairy tale.The Immortals of Meluha is – The Story of Shiva, the simple man, whose Karma recast him as our Mahadev (The God of Gods). The Immortals of Meluha can be classified as a Mythological Fantasy. At the end of the first book, Shiva is asking the right question - in fact the most crucial one: "What is evil?" And on his interpretation of the answer and in the very duality of life, hangs the fate of India. Somewhere in an attempt to find the right answers, we forget the more important task of asking the right questions. A fast moving action narrative in which we also learn of the origin of the Brahmins, the magical anti-ageing drink Somras (with modern-research backed support of its efficacy), the concepts of Vishnu and others. The legend of Shiva the man is told as a gripping fantasy in which Hindu myths are interpreted from a unique perspective and which explores philosophies such as the many versions of reality, karma, the character of societies, nature of evil and duality. The book is on story of Lord Shiva and according to John the prankier and lighter side of Shiva is also pretty evident in the book and entertains us throughout. John's description of the book motivated me and created an interest in the book. John commented about this book on my World travel information blog, the blog post was to Mani Mahesh Yatra.
