My overall experience with this book series was quite nice. It took me about a week to complete “The Immortals of Meluha”, and then just 4 days to complete “The Secret of Nagas”, both as audiobooks whereas about 2 weeks to complete “The Oath of Vayuputras” as I read some part of it through hard copy and listen to some as an audiobook. I started this book series as an audiobook that I used to listen to before sleep. But at the same time, those minor details challenge your imagination and hence make the story more fun! I feel that at some places very obvious things were described in too many details, that could have been easily edited out without affecting the story. The only shortcoming that I felt was that the book is too long in length that sometimes we start losing interest. The personality of various characters and their journey teaches a lot of life lessons to their readers. His way of expressing a philosophy is so engaging that it initiates a debate in your own mind about which side is right. The way he defines the battle sequences by just words that takes you into a virtual reality created by your mind. The way of story-telling of Amish is so intriguing that I couldn’t stop listening. As I kept hearing the audiobook, after each chapter the book becomes more interesting. I started it without much expectation, considering it as just a mythological cum scientific story, but I turned out to be wrong. I found it as a free audiobook on YouTube. I started the book series after watching an interview podcast of Amish Tripathi. The story revolves around the ancient Indian sub-continent from the northern Himalayas to the south of Narmada, from western Arabian countries to the Eastern states of India. The book series also explores the dilemma of what evil is.

And how he rises to become God-like by the virtue of his Karma. The book series is based on the premise that Lord Shiva was not just a creation of rich human imagination but a man of flesh and blood, like us.

The book series “The Shiva’s Trilogy” written by Amish Tripathi is consists of three books: “The Immortals of Meluha”, “The Secret of Nagas” and “The Oath of Vayuputras”.
