Book Review

The second part of the book series picks up from where The Immortals of Meluha ended, in the garden of Ramajanmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya. The sequel has more suspense and nail-biting moments than the first one.

New characters like Ganesh, Kartik and Kali are introduced into the plot. Old alliances are broken and new ones are forged. Friends turn enemies and enemies surprisingly become friends and guides in this novel.

Now that, The Nagas have killed Brihaspati, they are going after Sati. Shiva wants to punish the Nagas to avenge the killing of his dear friend. Shiva travels all across India, in search of the demonic serpent people, the Nagas. Will, he able to find them and punish them? Are the Nagas really evil? Who exactly are the Naga people? Is everything as clear as it seems? What happens at the Maika? These are some of the questions that the author attempts to answer in the second edition of the Shiva Trilogy.

Amish uses everyday English to make the book enjoyable for the regular masses. He has done a commendable job in keeping the suspense in the plot and revealing only what is required at a time.

Viewers are forced to contemplate whether good and evil exist separately or are they the two sides of the same coin.

There is an ancient map of India on the first page, which helps the readers get an idea about the location of the different kingdoms mentioned in the story.

The Secret of the Nagas is an interesting book to read. It is more interesting than the first part of “The Shiva Trilogy” (The Immortals of Meluha). This book will leave readers into suspense just like the first book, for some answers you will have to read the last part of this book series.
