Only if we know what evil is, we can fight it – right? Even after two books, the author doesn’t reveal what evil is, and I think it’s a very clever strategy. Because along with the Neelkanth, we too are perplexed. The quest of the lord to find what is evil is very interesting. OK, the secret is revealed, but not the story behind the secret! The book is titled ‘the secret of the nagas’ but it doesn’t reveal the secret. How someone would decide to take a one-year long arduous journey through the forest without even knowing what they are expecting to gain, is beyond me. The ending of this book, especially, was unexpected and a total surprise. I have already bought and am reading the third book – such is the intensity of the story and suspense in this series.
It didn’t feel slow or slacking, unlike the first book where some initial chapters seemed to move slow. Story-wise, The Secret of the Nagas, is even better than the first book, The Immortals of Meluha. After I finished reading the first book, I just had to pick up this second book and start reading it immediately to find out what happens next. It’s a Historical/Mythological Thriller set in ancient India. The Secret of the Nagas is the second book in the Shiva Trilogy series authored by Amish Tripathi.
