#The immortals of meluha review series
The entire series builds the character of Shiva from a person who is just a simple human being to a person who is a living God and, with one fall from grace, the entire character is destroyed. The biggest blow is dealt when Shiva succumbs to anger and uses pashupati astra. From here onwards, all I see are implausible explanations. It is this particular event that changes the entire book for me.

Actually the book is quite a good read till the time Vidyunmalli escapes. The way Sati dies in the book is quite different from the life of Sati and Shiv and there is no mention of Parvati at all anywhere in the book. Then, there is the amazingly stupid Sati - who must feel guilty for the death of soldiers who did not follow her orders in the first place and got themselves and their friends killed. The entire series is based on mythology but the last book weaves in too many things from the Ahura Mazda to the set up of a Tibetan monastery with the secrets of the somras. The story is longer in this last part with many things happening but it drags after a point in time. The Oath of the Vayuputras is written in a simple manner so you can really concentrate whole and soul on the main story. Trying to put up my views about the book with as little spoilers as possible:. However, this last book has left me feeling quite disappointed. I have read the earlier 2 books - The Immortals of Meluha and The Secret of the Nagas and was eagerly awaiting the release of the last book in the series. I recently finished reading - The Oath of the Vayuputras by Amish Tripathi.
