The Oath Of The Vayuputras by Amish - Paperback

I am not a regular reader but this book made me one. I can say that.I bought only first part of the trilogy because I wanted to have it try.But Part 1 complled me to buy second and third book of this series.After reading all 3 books I can say that you will not get bored . Though it is fiction based on some factual names and places, It will improve your thinking and you can relate some of the explanations dipicted in this books to real world .Over all It is a mixture of fictions and facts and your perception for Shiva as god will completely change.one more thing This book contains a rich vocabulary which can enhance your literature sense and you are going to learn new things which you can apply in your day to day conversation , speech and writting.

The shiva triology... A great fiction with roots in hindu mythology... This book is not so new for book lovers and those who are not new le'me tell in India it is one of the very famous book.The mighty god of gods and devils and everything the mighty pashupati is reimagined as a common MAN... Yes it was something new for readers which made this book become a bestseller in less time.The story is well narrated I would not spoil your experience telling anything but I may recommend this book... But but but there is one thing that even if the gods are re imagined as common people then also the end should be a happy one... If you are familiar with story of lord shiva then, we know that parvati ( his wife) gives up her body in Daksha (her father) yagya... Now this is where the book disapoints me... The third part "oath of vayuputras" didn't pleased me as the 1st and 2nd part... But still I enjoyed the journey of a man god.All the character and qualities are fitted very nicely in fictional character also.If you want to enjoy this book really... Then just don't relate the fictional characters to real gods... Or you won't enjoy and also you won't be able to digest the story.

Fantastic buy. I am half way through reading this book and I think it is has been very good so far. I know many people are judging the use of English slang being used in this book, but I do not believe this to be a flaw.For a writer I think it is important to write a book from however their point of view and as readers to respect the method of use they have chosen, as it is their work and if he feels his writing has done justice to the book then we must take his word for it, as no one else could have created what he did, because no one else has his imagination as he does not have many award-winning novelists imagination, or else we'd be reading the same things everywhere! The author's style of writing is his chosen method and he can tell us his story in any which way he deems fit. I think his effort is praiseworthy and it is to be applauded for the attempt of something written in an epic context with a laid back approach.I would recommend this book simply because it has piqued an interest for anyone reading this, and you should read it because you want to and not because someone is suggesting it to you. A decision of liking a book should always belong to a reader after reading a book and not after reading the review of someone else who has read the book.

Great, gripping and thrilling storyline. But it did not end in the same way. The story started great, become more and more toned with each chapter but disappointedly fizzled out in last 50-100 pages. What I did not like was -1. How negotiations were conducted with Vayuputras?2. In the end, Neelkanth army was much more capable (support wise, strength wise and circumstances wise) to destroy evil and take revenge of Sati. But he used Pashupatiastra - which killed innocent people, destroyed a city, poisoned river etc.3. Before the destruction of Devagiri, the Meluhan citizen's character looked greater than Neelkanth to me. They had courage and vision to take responsibility of something which they did not conduct personally. They showed more greatness than the Lord Neelkanth himself.4. Not much was talked about how "Bhrigu" changed his stand after Sati's event. Bhrigu was not emotional, he was a strong believer of what is he thinking and doing. How he lost sight of his believe and started believing in Neelkanth way. I could not understand how someone's personal sacrifice changed him.A good read but end could have been made better.

Loved it overall, liked the story development and the geography and landscapes are fascinating.
