The Secret of the Nagas: 2 (The Shiva Trilogy) - Softcover

Críticas

As good as it can be. Love reading this kind of epic. My top pics in character based novel - God father Immortal of Meluha Secret of nagas Papillon Maverick heart between love and life I love something which is based on character. Character is building block of any story. Plots, dialogue and other in story become filler then. We can associated or think something like brand name - when Amitabh is on screen - certain things and quality are expected out of him. His screen presence will matter - does not matter how messy at a times plot could be. --Ajay Dec 12, 2012

it is the wonderful book about a barbarian entering the naga capital by crossing many problems and with a son born and finding his friend which he compared as his brother who escaped with nagas. i like this book very much. --aravind krishna Jun 12, 2014

With the impending release of the final book in the trilogy, I re-read my copy of The Immortals of Meluha. It's been a year and a half since my first read but I still found it gripping. As one reviewer put it, hard to put down and a definite page turner. By the end I was wondering how the author could outdo the first novel. And then I picked up and finished the second installment yesterday - another gripping page turner. Amish has outdone himself and that's no mean feat. His books read better than many foreign authors. --Nikhil Silveira Feb 11, 2013

About The Saga

The Shiva Trilogy, written by Amish Tripathi, has become a nation-wide bestseller in a short time. This is due to the refreshing new plot that it explores and the unique writing style of the author. The Secret of The Nagas is the second novel in the saga. Amish has penned down the contents of this book in such a way that it manages to shine as a stand-alone book in itself.

The Plot and The Characterisations

In this book, Amish describes how Shiva sets forth on a quest to destroy the Naga clan in order to avenge the death of his brother; since the common belief he has been presented with is that the Nagas are the root of all evil. The author takes us through a virtual tour of India as Shiva travels different lands and gathers a vast number of generic and non-generic experiences, all in the quest of saving a plagued kingdom. As he travels, he garners more friends and family and leaves a mark. Slowly, events start unfolding in such a manner that whatever beliefs the readers and Shiva too held in the previous book are tarnished. Revelations occur as the evil-doers have been showcased in a new light and the grey shades of the positive protagonists in the earlier book are exposed. The book is filled with nuanced wisdom and Shiva leaves the readers with the message that good and evil are two sides of the same coin; which is why we shouldn't judge people. As suspense builds, the climax ends with Shiva finally entering the Naga territory making for a nail-biting finish.
