Hiranyakashyap: The Narasimha Trilogy (Book- 2)
Author - Kevin Missal
My rating- 3
As a sucker for mythologies, I had to read this book which is the second book in The Narasimha trilogy. I have already read the first book and liked it and since then I was curious about many questions that were left unanswered in the first book. If you haven't read the first book then you might find some spoilers in my review so I suggest that you should read the first book then read the second.
After surviving the three trials, Hiranyakashyap comes into possession of a celestial weapon and armor which makes him invincible. With his newfound power, he is all set to destroy Indra and his kingdom but on the other hand, Prahlad, his son, has joined Vishnusena and is opposing him. He is hell-bent on trying to change his son's mind and make him rejoin his side because the alternative is to kill his only living son. Narasimha is on his way to Kashyapuri to protect Prahlad but on his way, he meets an old friend and he derails from his path when his and his friend's life is endangered from poison and the only antidote is Soma.
The two characters go through major character development in this book I.e. Holika and Chenchen. Holika has a change of heart after reading Prahlad's journal and she begins questioning her judgment and on the other hand, Chenchen, the healer, comes out as a fighter and helps her friend Parvati in her quest to find her son. I think characterization could have been better as I feel that justice has not been done to many characters. If the size of the book were not this small, I believe that characters would be properly developed and the story wouldn't be rushed.
Many new characters were introduced in this book. The language of the book is very simple and lucid. So this book is also recommended for the beginners. The book has 237 pages and can be read in one sitting. Like the previous book, this book also ends with a major cliffhanger and now I can't wait to read the last book in the series. I love the narration and the story. The author has some really nice storytelling skills and I hope that the third book comes with a great story. The twists and turns in the story kept me hooked until the end. It was an interesting read.
