Narasimha

This book is based on Mythology, but the Writer took his own creative liberty in the story, so if you want to read an accurate story, this is not the book you should read, and the writer Kevin also said that in the start as well but if you want a easy to read Mythology story with modern element then this is a good book to read but you need to know the original story first so you can know what is the creative liberty he has taken.

Narasimha:The Mahaavatar Trilogy part 1 Author - @kevin_9695 Publisher - @harpercollinsin Price - 250(printed price) Page - 350 Genre - Mythological Fiction 📖 📖 Content - Indra attacked Kashyapuri,Hirankashyap's kingdom when he was not around and his wife,Kayadhu was killed by Nara,a soldier from the Simha tribe.After the horrific war,Nara has left out of remorse and lied low as a physician in a village.But when a familiar face from his past came to him to seek helpto stop Andhaka, Hirankashyap's nephew who was becoming impossible to kill and can destroy the world,what will Narasimha do?Why did he leave the war in the first place?Wasbit just remorse or something else? Prahlad,son of King Hirankashyap determined to prove his worthiness to his father but also wanted to believe in Lord Vishnu unlike other asuras.What will he do? Hirankashyap,The Asura King,after his wife's death was raged with anger and determined to avenge his wife.But to be successful against Indra,he needed to go through the Trials to have the ultimate weapon:The Brahmashastra.Will he be able to succeed? Read this amazing book to know the story of these three individuals. 📖 📖 My Views - We all are familiar with the famous story of Narasimha,Prahlad amd Hirankashyap but this is a reimagination of the whole story(already stated by author) written from each character's perspective.Every character has a different story to tell.Every character has flaws and conflict in them which makes them more relatable.We get to know about some other amazing strong characters like Anuhrad,Holika,Chitra, Chechen,Narada,Bhairav and each of them are too powerful.Andhaka,the main villain also has a very different past of him.The author has done a marvelous job creating such strong characters.The narration is superb and the language is also simple.The ending was unexpected.Please do read till the end. . Hats off to the author for such a brilliant book.Really excited for the sequel. 📖 My Rating - 4.7⭐/5⭐

Book : Narasimha trilogy ( Book 1 ) Author : Kevin missal Genre : mythological fiction Rating : 4.5/5 . . . Spoiler free review: ✍️ Narsimha book 1 was the first Indian mythological fiction book that i ever read, for those doesn't know it's the retelling of the mythological story in a new way ! . . ✍️ Reading this was a different level of experience in my recent times, the story was no were related to what I had in my mind before reading, completely unexpected with twists and turns ! . . ✍️ It's the story of warrior named nara whos sir name or I could say their group of people are called Simhas ( born with golden hairs and claws) who wears lion face.There is Asuras , Devas , Dhanavas & Simhas , the story revolves around 3 main character's called Nara , Hiranya & prahlad. The opening of the book just blew my mind It starts with the war between devas and Asuras with chapter 1 and the rest of chapters is what happens after 14 years of that wars results. There is love, war, revenge, devotion, kindness, brutality, goosebumps & heartwarming moments 🔥 . . ✍️ TBH i enjoyed reading to the fullest, worth the time of reading! The book ends with cliffhanger!!!!!!!!! . . ⏩AN AVATAR OF VISHNU! ⏩AN ASURA KING! ⏩AN VISHNU BAKTH! Can't wait to read book 2! -@__itsbookstagramboy__

Title – Narasimha,The Mahaavatar Trilogy(Book-1) Author – Kevin Missal The story revolves around Narasimha,one of the avatars of Lord Vishnu,who was once a brave soldier but left the war and lived a life by practicing medicine and saving people.The story is divided into three main characters- Narasimha,Prahlad,Hiranyakashyap.The plot of the book is well written,the twist and turns makes the book engaging.The individual story of each character is described well and at the end the author shows us how all the characters are related to each other. The narration is divided into chapters and the characters are developed well.The content is rich.The main themes – Revenge,betrayal,war and jealousy made the book even more interesting.The language is simple and one can easy connect with the story.The book is not the accurate tale of Lord Narasimha but the author’s own interpretation. Overall, the book is good pick for anyone who loves Mythology.The tale of war and revenge was quite engaging.The introduction of each character and the way of narrating it was unique.The map of Illavarti at the end,makes the book easy to understand and connect with the story.

This is my first book by the author and I regret why it has taken me so long to come around to read his books. Recently there has been a spike in the number of re-telling of the two big Hindu epics - Ramayana and Mahabharata. I was attracted to this book because it dealt with a character from Indian mythology seldom written/talked about- Narasimha. The book is first instalment of a trilogy named ' The Mahavatar Trilogy' and if the first book is anything to go by, then we are in for a fun ride. Although the book is titled Narasimha, there is no real protagonist in the book. The story revolves around four major characters, Hiranyakashyap, Prahlad, Andhaka and Narasimha. Each of the characters is on his path to find a purpose in life and the book takes us on this journey with them. The story is not about victories, but defeats. It shows how disappointments or defeats and not victories , shape our futures and the paths we take. It shows how pain and loss sculpt our beliefs and it also shows that when it comes to life there is no black or white but an array of different shades of grey. A big shout-out to the author. What a fantastic style of storytelling.. ! Every chapter leaves you grasping of breath and dying to turn the next page. Mythological re-tellings can get a bit drab or lost in translation but the author avoids this through his crisp writing and shorter chapters. Hats off and will definately be picking up his other works. Do pick this up.. You will enjoy reading it.. Happy reading..!!
