Satyayoddha Kalki: Eye of Brahma (Book 2) Paperback – 10 November 2018

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.

Lovely book

Building on the story from Book 1 , where Kalki and Kali are introduced, this next book in the series impressively takes the story further.Kalki is on his way to meet Bhargav Ram with the companionship of Kripa and Padma. Arjan is fighting his own battles after being captured by Kali. Several mythical creatures and species are introduced along the way.Kevin has intricately woven a brilliant world with a variety of characters drawing inspiration from mythology. The seamless blending of all the characters and their stories is commendable.The story has all the elements of a good mythological fiction with politics , battles , magic , secret weapons etc.The development arc of Kalki where he tries to fill the shoes of an avatar is the main hook of the story. The character development of Arjan , his brother, is equally interesting and even more impressive at places. With the secret of Eye of Brahma getting revealed to Kali, the story is taking a fascinating turn. The battle of Dharma and Adharma is about to happen but which side is Dharma.

It's nerve wrenching, mythological jewel created by the author Kevin sir. The type of writing is outstanding having a distinct web series fashion. Must be re created in bigger screens. It will be absolutely blockbuster. Fan of his storytelling. Loved the good authorship.

Awesome packaging

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.

The book arrived was totally not looking any new copy. The copy is very old and looks like pages has been drenched in any liquid earlier. Haven't started reading yet. But the first impression has been very negative and wrong to me. Killed the vibe. The seller should have mind it before shipping default copies.
