My Review: The Secret Of The Nagas

This book tells us a lot about good and evil. Since Daksha, Now Shiva's father in law has been saying how Neelkanth is the destroyer of evil, so that makes him curious about who to blame and kill. Shiva's anger is so engaging in this book, how his emotions dominate him when his loved ones get hurt. You can tell he plays an ideal role, every woman would love to have. Shiva and Sati have some more delighful moments together, followed by Parvateshwer playing the "hard to get" towards Anandmayi. And how mysterious the Nagas were in the first book are more exposed in this, so your questions will be answered.

I found it very amusing how Shiva goes to a temple and could talk to any Vasudev in his head. Found it a bit annoying though how they never give a straight answer :P But its later understandable how Shiva himself finds the answers and not assume. Then comes a new character who is Karthik, Shiva and Sati's son, who grows up in no time and is always to excited to fight. This book brings a lot of twists and turns which we wouldnt even imagine, holding that as the best part. One being who the hooded figure is who does the surprise attacks on Sati and the second being the secret of the Nagas itself. 

Few quotes I loved are as follows: 

"That the opposite of love isnt hate. Hate is just love gone bad, the actual opposite of love is apathy. When you dont care a damn as what happens to the other person"-Veerabhadra.

"A good man rebelled against an injustice in a foreign land more than 250 years ago. Today that very rebellious is causing me injustice", says who? Who else, Anandmayi! :) And in this, her charm successfully works and Parvateshwar breaks his vow of celibacy to marry her. So basically, this book just ends with your mouth open with its final immense twist and make you literally jump to the final book. After youre done reading, youll have a whole new respect for Sati, for her bravery! :)

 

"Remember there is no good or bad. They are either strong or weak"-Shiva.
