Completely blown away, especially after the Naga's true identity is revealed.

Who is good and who is evil?

Can't wait to read the third part to find answers to all the cliffhangers.

Starting over from where Sati was left under attack by a Naga, the episode turns into a dramatic action sequence. From there, the story picks up and Shiva and Sati both start their journey from Swadweep to Kashi and several other kingdoms, with just one motto in mind- to find the evil Naga who killed Shiva’s best friend Brahaspati. Vengeance is the only thing on Shiva’s mind and he will not stop at any cost. For this, he is ready to make a deal with any devil. His dark path is surely to lead him on till the gates of the serpent kingdom. In this journey, shiva and his team come across the fact that an evil plague is rising everywhere and certainly, in most of the kingdoms, it has already risen. Simultaneously, a prince is murdered, an entire kingdom is dying and treachery seeps in from the most unexpected place- the perfect kingdom of meluha!

⬆️ This is just a little summary of the book.

The first book ended with a surprising cliffhanger but I can definitely say that, that this book ends on a shocking one. Because of the immense details and everything this book it helps you understand the storyline better. This book connects and explains many secrets and points that were left out in the first one but there are so many unexpected twists and turns throughout the story that keeps the thrill going on. It really introduces a lot of new emotions. This book is not a very long read and you need to be familiar with the first one to understand it properly. But all in all this book is actualy amazing and worth your time.
Awesome work by the author. I loved it!!
Must read!!!!!

I remember being indulged in this book because it focused on philosophical questions albeit mostly about good and evil and the balance required between them. I liked the way Ganesh and Kali were introduced and how it helped in bringing up the issue of discrimination and tolerance. I was already excited to read this book because I enjoyed the first book in the series. And like the previous book, many years have passed since I read this book. So I remember being thought provoked by this book comparing it to today's time, forming opinions. All in all enjoyed reading the book.

That revelation - FANTASTIC!!!

Didn’t expect ganesha and kali as Nagas. The concept so well done. Loved the bond between Shiva and Ganesha

The emotions were portrayed really well. No 2nd book syndrome either. A good setting to the end.
