Shiva Trilogy

Get to know the 21 year old Tibetan immigrant whose destiny turned him into the Mahadev, The God of Gods.

Not every writer has the power to captivate the reader. It is an inherent talent that has to be developed. Amish – the first and latest Indian author I’ve read and I must say I was really stunned at the amazing narration of incredible imagination.

In my view, a good novel should be one that the reader can relate to. This is a challenge the writer has to meet, especially in the case of fiction. A fictitious novel needs something special if it has to impress the reader. The incidents in the story, descriptions, dialogues and characterization should be believable and realistic. Amish has met the challenge successfully.

The best part of this story is that we get to meet the “Mahadev” as a common youth, filled with young fantasies. He appears, to the reader, just like the boy next door.

“Some traditions are meant to be broken”

This trilogy is not completely the author’s imagination. It is centred on Hindu Mythology. Hence the characters and a few incidents are not unknown to the reader. The author has only said an already existent and over-told story in a new way with added spice. The new episode of Shiva’s life easily acceptable. The author has done a good job in introducing us to the youth who was praised as a Lord. (Shiva hated being called Lord – just saying!)
