The Secret of The Nagas (Shiva Trilogy Book 2)

The Secret of the Nagas The 1st book Immortals of Meluha built an atmosphere for an epic tale. A story unravelling truth that are beyond expectation and conflicts that could have been averted. Book I ended with tribal Shiva aka Neelkanth declaring and winning war on Chandravanshi to avenge the death of his friend Brahspati. The chandravanshi princess Anandmayi explaining the legend of Neelkanth and his act of liberating Chandravansi’s from cruel and evil Suryavanshi’s. this revelation perplexed Shiva and is utterly distressed. Book II begins with Shiva rushing to save Sati from a Naga attack where the Naga manages to escape leaving behind coins with strange engravings. Further investigation reveals the coin belongs to king Chandraketu the ruler of land of Branga. Shiva and Sati travel to Kashi to discover more of Naga people. The description of Kashi in this book is magnificent and it is here when 1st time the reference of lord Rudra takes place. Shiva is accompanied by chief Parvateshwar who get mortally injured trying to pacify a riot, he is cured by a miracle medicine that is found only in Panchavati. As the journey of Shiva continues towards the forbidden land and forest the story intensifies and takes readers by surprise. The story revealing friends as foes and foes are true alliance and accomplice. The gripping revelation of Naga people and story from their perspective is a delight to read. I was happy sad angry all at same time. The truth ok Kali and Ganesh is surreal and outlines Amish’s craft of blending mythology and imagination with ease. Shiva travels to Panchavati under the guidance of Kali, who knows how to reach the capital through the treacherous Dandak Forest. The end of the book has a surprise that will change the course of story. Myths are nothing but jumbled memories of a true past. A past buried under mounds of earth and ignorance

I finished the first book of this series and started the 2nd and I just loved it , author has written in a way that would keep you engaged throughout, if your are straight away starting from this book so you would not understand and relate much , hence to all 1st time reader of this series kindly,first read the 1st part immortals of meluha and then follow it , I bet you would enjoy it , the only concern as a student I have , is that this book is bit expensive but I save my entire pocket money for it.

I was so excited that after finishing meluha book ,I just ordered this book and read this book just arrived and finish two chapters.

Hats off to Amish for creating this masterpiece.His style of writing is very authentic and i was personally enchanted and mesmerized by the character development of our Lord(Shivji). This was more than a perfect sequel to the first book i could've ever hoped for and once again Amish nailed it. I felt that Amish has linked all his novels meticulously (Writing this after reading Ram Chandra series). While reading this trilogy i felt extremely connected with the characters that when they laughed i also laughed and on the other hand when they were in agony and pain i also shared those feelings(Lord Ganesh😭). In a nutshell this Trilogy is on par with other popular literary works like A Song of Ice and Fire and works of Tolkien (The Hobbit series).

This book had a lot more twists and turns. The world is built well. The descriptions are really good. I loved how the new characters were described. Whenever there was a new character, I would just stop reading for a moment and try to identify the character based on my knowledge of mythology. When I guessed the character correctly, I kind of felt ecstatic. The beginning few pages were ok, but after those initial pages the story really picked up and it was so engrossing. I liked this more than book 1. The language is good. The questions posed really make you think. This book is not just entertaining but also urges you to think. So overall, it is a great book to dive into.

OMG. THIS ONE IS REALLY GOOD! One thing I learn from this book is never judge anyone. Whether it be from their appearance or their life in general. Just never judge people. I just love this book. Shiva's adventures are just so exciting! I love how he is so wise in planning the war with Parvateshwar and others. Their victory which I thought is great but has a meaning behind which is a much bigger picture than what the Neelkanth thought. His other adventures. The journey to Panchavati. Omg just so exciting. I love that the author has finally given light to a bunch of people. I can't name them all but it was just great. I learned to never judge anyone. Just anyone. Sati's sad story, her finding the truth, Daksha's surprising story and the secret the Nagas has kept. And omg. That secret is definitely unexpected. I also adore all the Neelkanth and Vasudev's conversations. I find them worth pondering. They are something I wouldn't have thought of but when I read them makes a lot of sense and I just adore the deep wisdom shown. Just great!
