But the Trials have sent so many others to their death. Can Hiranyakashyap survive?

My review:
The book by Kevin Missal, ‘Narasimha: The Mahaavatar’ is a mythological fiction story which war, revenge, kings, powers, blood and other mystical powers. It is a known fact that is one of Lord Vishnu’s incarnation who is half human, half lion.

Many years back Narasimha kills little Prahlad's mother Leelavati during a war between Lord Indra and Asuras. After the war Narasimha still cringes with guilt of killing an innocent woman. One day he decides to leave the war land and goes away. He restarts his life in isolated place as a physician. He still has the guilt of killing an innocent lady and his brother too and hence he decides to leave war and now lives his life in isolation as a physician. He takes an oath for himself that in any case he will save Prahlad from all the wicked plans that Asuras plan to kill him. One of the main characters in the story is Andhaka, who is a terrible person for many reasons. Who is Andhaka? How is he related to Prahlad? What is the catch-22 situation Prahlad faces? Read the book and indulge into a fantasy world.

There are so many other things which can be read and experience a thrilling feeling. It would inhuman on my part to show all such subplots. Hence, please read the book if you have not yet!!!

What I like:
1. The intrinsic detailing of the characters is impressive.
2. The karma factor is well explained with the character's deeds.
3. No one is perfect. Everyone has both negative and positive traits is what is beautifully explained in the story.
4. The narration and author's writing is absolutely commendable.

Characters:
Apart from the mythology story that everyone has heard during various times, Kevin's explanation of characters really stands out. With awesome detailing the known story with new facts is amazing.

Narration:
Thrilling and persuading narration is found in the story.

This book is the second part of kalki- the dharmayodha. In this book Kalki is traveling to mahendragiri and what all difficulty he faces. Parallely other 3 stories go on. One is of Manasa Vasuki's sister, another is Arjan and indragarh and the last one is about Kali. This book is importantly barred on eye of brahama which shows you past, present, future and the fourth one which can be the possibility not certainly according to one'action in the present. There are 4 shrads. Each important characters have one of those in the book now. Author has confused who is important or who is dharma and adharma. Overall it's a good book to read now waiting for the last book hope it comes fast. Overall I would say it's a very good Goodread... 😊… (meer)
