The book itself is exciting. I enjoyed the first one in the series and the second is also similarly good. I wasn't expecting much honestly before reading these and looking at the title alone. I thought they would be another retelling of mythology which I have personally got tired of. But it was different - this is a fantasy series for young adults as I found out when I started reading but it was interesting enough so I stuck with it even though I'm no longer a teenager. My excuse is, the author is not either! :D
It channels a a bit Harry Potter but in the end all fantasy novels are fairly similar in plot. So it wasn't a turn off for me.
But I do have a problem with one thing in these books and the author in general and that is the number of chapters he has in all his books - there are about 100 chapters (in that ball park, don't remember the exact count) in a book that is 400 something pages. Some chapters are just 2 pages, and between one chapter and the next even the scene hasn't changed! And if you see the chapter title you can guess what's going to happen in it. Not sure why the author chose to write that way and why the publisher went with it. That is a terrible idea.

I have no words to describe.. the book is simply awesome.. I took the whole day to finish, but i took it little slow to absorb the richness the author had commended over the vocabulary and the scene set.. Its like u are there like an atma watching over everyone.. Thanks for a wonderful experience.. Since this book released nearly after one and half to two years, it was difficult to remember entire book 1 alternate names and stuff but i was able to correlate everyone.. Truly a wonderful book of art.. I love Maya.. The way the author takes her, its almost brilliant..
Thanks for a wonderful book Mr.Christopher C Doyle.. I would definitely read both the books before the next book releases.. nothing less than extraordinary..

The Sangha alongwith Satyavachan and "Saptas" continue their fight against Shukra and his monsters. There wasn't a moment when I wasn't intrigued. The author brilliantly navigates through all the characters and plots to give us a story which won't let you rest. We can clearly see the shift in the characters and their relationship. We actually feel them grow from being children to being adolescents. The characters are so vivid and real that you feel attached to them. The author has expertly written a particularly long action sequence which was breathtaking and I loved it to the core.
Maya continues to be my favourite character. She has to unnecessarily go through a lot of struggle to prove her worth but she continues to hustle nevertheless. I am also growing fond of Raman Kapoor. I think we can really take some inspiration from his determination and never-say-die attitude. The rest of the characters are equally effective and invoke emotions that they should.
There is also a huge surprise for readers who have read all of Christopher Doyle's books. If it grows into something, I feel it will trump all the other series I have read so far.
Again, the author has superbly explained the science behind some of the phenomena we might say are supernatural. It has generated great interest in me to read more about the science behind them.
With enough plot twists and monsters, this book will definitely keep you hooked from the first page to the last and the end will make you wait eagerly for the next book of the series!

This has become my most favourite out of all of Christopher Doyle's books. It is the perfect amalgamation of fantasy, mythology and technology and I can't believe I finished it in just a couple of days!

The adventure filled sequel to 'Son of Bhirgu' is one filled with emotions, suspense and twists. The book neatly starts off from its prequel and culminates in a cheerful climax. Throughout this book, author has very adequately walked us through the various phases in the training of the protagonists. But the real interesting part is when the journey to the mists of Brahma begins. From here on, the plot makes the reader fastened to their seats. The attempt to unfold the secrets at Maya's house, the subsequent crusade and interim anti climax was certainly a curl in the plot. However, the author has brilliantly scripted the final climax which brings in delight to the reader. The author has done immense research in Hindu Mythology and explained the science behind some of the spectacles. He has elaborated all the references at the end of the book, including chapters and verses. An exciting book for fantasy thriller lovers and eagerly waiting for the third part of this series.

Christopher Doyles's writings take you on a roll as he tricks your emotions bringing his fictional world close to the reality of writings in various Parvas of Mahabharata. The moment you have begun to settle down and enjoy the ride is when he suddenly rocks your fantasy world with the sudden twists in the tale. The second book in The Pataala Prophecy Series, the novel takes off from the earlier novel and builds a cohesive narrative that is sure to lead to a great climax. Christopher's novels make you fall in love with Mahabharata and make you want to read the unabridged version. For me, the climax was almost an anti climax... I would have wanted Arjun to fight more bravely rather than meekly surrender. Other than that the novel was hell of a ride.....

I started the book in the hope that it will reveal one more part of the prophecy but didn’t happen. Book was good but other than the growth of Arjun and Maya in their abilities it doesn’t give much answers and asks more questions. Curious about Maya’s and Vishwaraj’s birth and parents. Plot thickens!!!
