“The Immortals of Meluha” by Amish takes readers on a mesmerizing journey back to 1900 BC, exploring the land of Meluha during the Indus Valley Civilization. Amish’s imaginative reimagining of history and mythology is truly inspiring. The concept of a once-great empire facing peril and the emergence of a hero amidst chaos captivated my imagination from the very beginning.The story’s relatability lies in the portrayal of the protagonist, Shiva. A rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant, Shiva’s internal struggle between destiny, duty, and love resonates with the modern reader. This relatability adds depth to the character and allows readers to connect with his journey on a personal level.Amish’s writing style is engaging and seamlessly blends historical and mythological elements. The intricate setup of the world and the political turmoil of Meluha paint a vivid picture of the era. The fusion of historical details with mythical elements creates a unique reading experience that keeps you hooked.”The Immortals of Meluha” is an intriguing mix of history, mythology, and adventure. It presents a fresh perspective on ancient legends and questions the essence of heroism. The book’s ability to transport readers to a bygone era, coupled with its relatable characters and engaging narrative, make it a remarkable read. Personally, I expected a blend of mythology and history, and the book exceeded my expectations by adding an element of suspense and intrigue. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a unique spin on mythology and history, intertwined with a captivating tale of heroism and destiny.

? The book was absolutely how I have had heard about it. This was one of those books which made me restless until I finished the book. It’s an absolute masterpiece. I know there have also been very critical comments on this books. But this book was a great one for me.?This series has 3 books in it :First is The Immortals of Meluha, second is The Secret of the Nagas and the third one is The Oath of the Vayuputras.?I never had such a huge crush on a fiction character. The part where Amish describes about Shiva dancing was beautiful which eventually got me crazy. And you know its a great book when you can see the story as though its happening right in front of you. This book is beautifully written and as you are on the verge of finishing this book, the end puts you into this suspense and restlessness as to what the second book holds. This book makes you helpless and puts you into a hype to read the next book to solve the mystery and thats what exactly happened with me .Im so glad to have read this book. As a child I always thought if the ones we worship were normal humans like us how would their life be? And the author has got my imagination in this book.? ????/5

Hello friends,This is the first book of “The Shiva Trilogy” by author Amish.The trilogy’s other two books are”The secret of Nagas” and “The Oath of Vayuputras“All the three titles has gained a great popularity in India…The concept of HINDU god “Lord Shiva” also Mahadev as a common Tibetan is catchy…This book haves 417 pages consisting 26 chaptersThis very first book tells about how Shiva (here a common man) is trying to protect Tribe… And what he does to protect them…All characters are very well crafted and the character of lord shiva is kept very interesting as the lord Shiva is actually described…Immortals of meluha also describes the journey of shiva and his tribe to The MELUHA which was earlier living near a holy lake (Lake Mansarovar)The story is very well crafted… The first book unveils the event ofMysteriously Shiva’s throat turning blue on the consumption of Soma (a drink for long life and good health).Realisation by citizen of Meluha and their king that Shiva is the chosen one…meeting with Sati, daughter of the king of MeluhaA Glimpse of EvilNow in the journey, a feeble assumption of what evil is and who are evil people is made and shiva acts accordingly.Now the question is what will happen next…Is the assumption of true evil correct?Will shiva be able to find what made his throat turn blue?Will he able to find and remove evil out of equation?The book is interesting and indulging… The details of narration complements the beautiful story very well.Various characters are introduced in the first book well, many are told but kept in suspense…My opinion : if you just read this first book, you won’t feel how good this story is… I liked the way story is woven… You’ll realise several distributed parts connecting when you read the whole series (well you’ll realise by the second part
