Satyayoddha Kalki: Eye of Brahma (Book 2)

Book was nice but 30 pages 8 chapters were missing

So much emotions are packed in these 437 pages.Each chapter flows with different perspective of different characters. We venture into different lands, different stories, different characters fighting for different reasons, but all are connected...interwoven in every way. Madness, bloodshed, backstabbing, something prominent happens in each chapter to leave one breathless, emotionally drained.In the middle of all these is The Eye Of Brahma.We support every character whose world we get to know, for they are all right in their own perception. The story raises so many questions, some it answered and some are left for us to contemplate until the next book is here.I'm emotionally drained. You get connected to these character and when there's so many things happening to them, you also feel each and every blow alongside.The places, from Dandka to Suparnabhoomi were described so vividly that you can imagine as you go along with the story.The sequences, especially action and war are described very well to keep the imagination flow without a hitch.Characters have become so much stronger than we have seen them in the book 1.Story flowed without any boring or monotonous part for us to just skip through as I have already said so much things are happening in just a single chapter to miss.Kalki is in the war, well every character is in the war with one or other or with eachother.Twists and damn twists, damn serious bloody twists keeps you grabbing your heart and say-wait, he had a..Wait he was his...Wait he is...Wait what is..Wait how is..Okay that was just me during reading the book.

If you ask me to give 5 best Indian Mythological fiction title that I have read, the Kalki has made it place the moment I read part 1 (Dharmayoddha Kalki: Avatar of Vishnu). So along with Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi, Vikramaditya Gatha by Shatrujeet Nath, Ajaya by Anand Neelakantan, and Sangram Sindhu Gatha by Vivek Kumar, Avatar of Vishnu by Kevin Missal is part of my personal favorite and must-have & must-recommended category book. We waited almost 1 year for this awaited sequel. So here I am discussing book 2 (Satyayoddha Kalki: Eye of Brahma)This part started with multiple subplots.1) Kalki's travel towards Mahendragiri hills - He was accompanied by Kripa & Padma. As usual tragedy and adventure followed them. They met some ancient tribes.2) Arjan's Imprisonment - Capture by Kali's force, Arjan was imprisoned & forced to entertained royals by means of the duel. He was mentally harassed by Kali.3) Kali's sister's attempt to reveal her assistant's true motive & in that process met with a new ally, daughter of Indragrah. She also wanted to help Arjan.4) Manasa's entry into the Naga Kingdom. She found her country in turmoil of civil war. Her brother's family was assassinated by Suparnas. She needed to overcome this obstacle if she wanted to take revenge on Kali.Above are just a portion of the first half of the book, "The Coup of Indragrah". The second part "The Dandak Rebellion" has its own subplots. In short, you cannot put down the book before finishing it.Rarely you will find a story woven with multiple important characters and their part in it. The author has wonderfully portrayed his imaginary world and glued readers to the same. Each story flows so smoothly and merged with another story that you hardly felt ripples. It is very difficult to create so many characters and let them play their part. And if you can do it properly your work will be revered, same is the case here. Wonderful characterization, smooth flow, clear progression, easy to follow language and pack with action mystery what else you would need from a book. A book story worth having cult or fan following.

SATYAYODDHA KALKI – EYE OF BRAHMAAuthor: Kevin MissalGenre: FictionTHIS BOOK REVIEW IS ONLY BASED ON MY FEELINGS DURING READING THE BOOK. IT DOES NOT INTENT TO HURT ANYONE’S FEELINGS, AND DOES NOT MEANT TO COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER REVIEWER’S FEELINGS“The Road ahead will not be without peril”This is the second part of the Kalki Series. The author I must say is successful to maintain a fair deal of curiosity, but somewhere I felt that he has lost in the middle. The journey of Kalki continues toward Mahendra-Giri, to understand to himself or what are his powers. But he has introduced so many characters, that he could not maintain his balance in the story, rather at the end tried to finish in a hasty manner. the main confusion he created is about Dharm & Adharm. But one thing for sure I want to read the last book of the series.As I’ve mentioned in my first review about the series, that one who is well versed with Indian Mythology, Game of Thrones, Planet of Apes, Star Wars, etc, will find the storyline somewhat matching, this second book is like “Take the Storyline from those movies, create your own plot & map and blend it well with Indian Mythological Characters”. Most of the Puranic Characters from Hindu Mythology have appeared in the Book. The language is sometimes funny, sometimes with lots of grammatical errors. But if you want to seat at your couch after a full day of hectic workload, on one fine evening, with a cup of coffee, this book might give you pleasure and a bit of relaxation with its super easy writing and funny plot making. But if you have very high expectations you will get fairly disappointed.And finally from my viewpoint:My Rating is 2.5/5.0.

ReviewThe ending of the book is very beautifully weaved and it astounded me with a master twist which blew my mind and I am not able to control myself any longer to read the next part of the Kalki.The story is very riveting and again I am mesmerized by the story the author has weaved, it's a phenomenal mythological thriller I loved it entirely and if we talk about the language of the book in which it is written it's very smooth to read and easily understandable.I liked the way the author has plotted each character he had to use their uniqueness and showed us how they can explore themselves and have justified all the characters.This book had given me an amazing time and entertained me and kept me engrossed till the end.I would like to recommend this book to all the mythological lovers like me who love to read mythological tales weaved in a new story which show us the right path to take when we stuck in dilemma.Glimpse in a blinkKalki has been told and forced to go Mahendra Giri parvat as kirpa said him that he will be trained there to be a worthy Avatar of Vishnu and the sixth Vishnu is awaiting his arrival, he is on the way to Mahendra Giri with kirpa and the Padma whom he hates a much as she left his brother, but the way is not friendly they think of and they get caught by Simha.Kali now rules the Indragarh and do what he likes as a dictator and from the day he took soma he became like a living evil who is killing everyone who comes in his path and his cruelty rises day by day, he has overthrown the king of indragarh and appointed himself the king, he had a soft heart too for the people who suffered but have a cruel heart for those betrays him.Manasa who saved herself from kali wrath is now planning to take revenge from him for her brother, she has reached home but there is already going a lot of plotting against her and found herself lost in the politics of the crown.Everyone has their mission and planning to do what they think is right for their sake but Kalki is thinking for a better world and he is trying his best to understand his powers, will be able to reach the destination where he is going, will kali reign will end or not, will Manasa can do what she wants to do, to know all the answers go grab the book and start reading.

Okay so as I was nearing the end of the first book, I knew I hard to get the next one. It really was that invigorating to say the least.But I will say this that the first book was, without splitting hairs, better. This book has, and surprisingly so, many MANY typos. It was almost as if someone bribed a their 3 year old cousin to type some pages, while they take a break, just for a bit you know. And as petty as that sounds, it breaks the continuity of the whole flow.Other than that, the 3-4 parallel stories keep the pace nice. At no point did I find it a drag, which is a bigger compliment than most think it to be. Loved the book.And the thing to love here, in both books actually, is that DAMN cover art! I am a sucker for such good cover pages. Hope third one has a even better front!Recommended. And eagerly waiting for the third one.The delivery was fast. Thanks amazon.
