Review:

This trilogy will keep you on the edge of your seat. I couldn’t put it down, devouring each part in a mere two days on average. It’s that addictive!

The story begins with a curious young boy named Prithvi, who is on a quest to find an enigmatic Aghori named Om Shashtri. As the narrative unfolds, we are transported to a past where Om Shashtri finds himself under intense interrogation by a team of experts. Brace yourself for a twist that will leave you astounded — Om Shashtri is far more than just an Aghori.

The intricate web of connections between Prithvi and Om Shashtri will send chills down your spine. The author, Akshat Gupta, expertly weaves together their stories, secrets, and mysteries that will leave you guessing at every turn. Each character in the book is meticulously crafted, with none to be taken for granted. They all have a significant role to play, offering unexpected surprises.

The book delves deep into Hindu mythology, interweaving it with science fiction and an intriguing mystery. The quest to find the seven immortals of Hindu mythology, as they unite to save the universe, is gripping and enthralling. Akshat Author leaves no stone unturned, exploring every mystical aspect of Hindu mythology, making you wonder if such events could transpire in the future.

This book immerses you in a world teeming with ancient prophecies, cosmic battles, and unexplored realms. The story’s connection to the four yugas (ages) adds a layer of excitement. From its captivating beginning at Ross Island to the nail-biting conclusion, the book raises countless questions leaving you hungry for more. And as one of the prominent characters ominously states, “It’s not over yet!” I can’t wait to read what’s in store!

In terms of writing style, while some critics might label it as mediocre, I found it to be refreshingly accessible. The focus for me lies more in the story plot, which is brilliantly executed. So, If you’re a beginner craving a mysterious adventure, this book will captivate your imagination.

Favorite Character: My favorite character from this trilogy is Vrishkapi (you’ll encounter him in Book 2 of this trilogy). His Innocence and Cuteness captivated my heart, I would love to read a book on his adventures.

Recommendation: The Hidden Hindu is a must-read for those who crave a blend of mythology, science fiction, and mystery. Brace yourself for an extraordinary adventure that will leave you questioning the boundaries of possibility. Author Akshat Gupta has created a world that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading.

The content presented in the book is well-researched, Making it an interesting and captivating read. Don’t miss out on this captivating journey!

From my Shelf!

Keep up the fantastic work, Author Akshat Gupta!
