What a bummer, Amish!

Har Har Mahadev.

Feb-March 2013. Chennai.

Hey are you guys able to sleep at a proper time like 11 pm or so and wake up at like 6? This question has nothing to do with what I want to write, I am just asking.


Okay, Amish bhai, to be very honest with you, I have only one question to ask you: WHAT THE F was that man? 2 amazing books and then a 500 page crap. Yes, the crap had its moments but on the whole, what a bummer!

First of all you tell me why you named it "Oath of the Vayuputras" and didn't even dedicate 100 pages to them? All they do is give one bomb to Shiva, that too, just like that.

"Hi, I am neelkanth, give me pashupathiastra." "Here, take it and go."

Could have named it "The tragic ending to my Shiva trilogy".

Also, Bhrigu is one Maharishi who is a mind-reader means all he should have done is meet Shiva once and look into his eyes and give clearance for destruction of Somras. And because one important girl called Sati dies he automatically changes his views about Somras? what raa..dei!

What about Brhaspati and Shiva bro, were they ever good friends again? You dedicated on whole passage to Brhaspati feeling sad about Shiva not being as close with him as the times before the destruction of Mount Mandar but after that, nothing about them. Also, terrible narration bro. One girl I know is not even able to imagine Karthik fighting.

Okay, fine, you decided to call it a day on Sati, why so brutally da? what she did nu she deserves 4 fingers to be cut off of her and all? You could have made her a Naga in the first book itself for this kind of brutality at the end. :'(

Pashupatiastra should not be used no and Shiva used it, but no repercussions? Not even one letter from Vayuputras telling Shiva, "Bro, that was so uncool of you." Poda dei!

WORST THING OF ALL, throughout the book I am expecting to see the battle of all battles between Parveteshwar's army and Shiva's army. The Meluhan's tactical acumen versus the Neelkanth's warrior spirit. The love for homeland versus the love for greater good. BUT NO!

Awful bro, awful.

Maybe all this rant is because the story didn't end the way I wanted it to or maybe it's because whoever I come across who has finished the book tells me it sucked. Also, with so many sub-plots not taken care of and how the other 2 books were only like 300 pages, one feels you made a mistake by calling it the Shiva "Trilogy". I mean, there is so much more you could have told us, there is so much more we wanted to hear.

Anyway, it's over. On the whole, it is a series I would recommend people to read, at least for the first two books which were absolutely fantastic.

At the end of book, neither Shiva nor me, smiled.

Also this is a rant, not a review.

P.S. Spoiler alert. Oh and Devagiri is turned to ashes by Shiva because he uses nuclear bomb on the city because one irrelevant prince orders a bunch of Egyptian assassins to murder Shiva but instead they kill Sati.

Ok, bye.
