What attracted me to this book is its cover and tag line "Maybe I am a villain in your story, but I am a hero in mine". This is not a typical fantasy book, although it takes place in a fictional world named Jivavarta inspired by ancient India, there is no magic in this story. The young hero /villain character makes his way through a complex and realistically imagined world complete with different religions, social hierarchy, and surreal locations. As he struggles for survival he faces questionsPart adventure, part fantasy, part thriller novel. Every chapter is like one episode of the story. The plot is complex, it is about lowborn prince and his fight for the survival, and the monk and his fight to achieve the eternal glory.At first, I was little overwhelmed by the speed of narration, and by different sounding Indian names, once novel progressed it became easy to remember.What I loved most about the book is, it's ending. Many times novels create this immense built up and then they

The novel is uniquely brilliant. The writer has a vastly different writing style than other fantasy writers I have read. The use of words is simple yet burnished.Central theme of the story is about hunger for power, and different paths which lead towards power. Battles, weapons, manipulation, or maybe starting a new faith, whatever it takes. I loved the curve of the characters.Although plot of the novel is complex, the structure of the novel makes it an easy read.Currently it seems like a
I liked the premise of the story, but it was written very simply. The language used was quite basic, and I felt that there should have been more world building and character development.
