THE PATAALA PROPHECY- THE MISTS OF BRAHMA

14 May THE PATAALA PROPHECY- THE MISTS OF BRAHMA

This is the second book in the series of the Pataala Prophecy. Well without further introductions lets get directly involved in the review of the book. So the synopsis is the same as the previous one, whether Maya and Arjun can save the world from the wrath of the Sage Shukracharya. Will the end of Kalyug prove the end of the world?

I have mentioned in the earlier post today that the plot seems to have a similarity with Harry potter. I could say its not done on purpose but once we are Harry Potter fans we tend to co-relate all the other fantasies with this. Few of them are as follows: starting with the main characters Arjun and Maya is the Hermoine and Harry. We have Kanakpratap who is the uncle of Arjun who is like Sirius Black. Then we have the Guru Satyavachana who trains Maya who is like a cute version of Dumbledore. We have the Agastya who is like Ron. The Gurukul is like Hogwarts, Shukracharya who is like Voldemort but the ultimate one is the Prophecy of how the one will end the villain of the plot! Just because there are a few similarities you shouldn’t abandon the book. Though its a fictional creation there are many such incidents in the book that makes you think if these are true or not. Most of the mantras as a Hindu born I have recited in my childhood days with my mother and grandmother. The weight and the importance of a mantra were told to me by my paternal grandmother but I did not even bother to even give it an ear. So this book have been more a nostalgic walk through my life with my grandmother. There isn’t a day in my life that I haven’t thought about her and its surprising as she left this world when I was just 9 years old and I only got  3 weeks every year to be with her. Sometimes the time spent does not matter its the quality of the time and with whom that is important.

Last but not the least I would want to warn you that this book has a dramatic yet very audacious ending which will remind you of a lot of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! But I still would recommend this book for you to read not because there is some great information lying in the book but its a fast read and you wouldn’t regret spending Rs. 399 on it.
