Having realized that good and evil are two sides of the same coin with the guidance of Vasudevs, the tribe of Vishnu, Shiva prepares for the final battle to destroy the evil to fulfill his destiny as the Neelkanth. In this journey, he discovers his relations with the Vayuputras, tribe left by the previous Mahadev.
The book answered many questions which arose in the first two parts, giving the trilogy a good wrap-up. Just like the previous books, the descriptions of the scenes were picturesque. I liked the way the author gave scientific explanations to more or less every 'divine' phenomenon such as excessive good turning into evil and also the third eye of Shiva. The plot was bit too long and was a drag at a few places but maybe that was required to conclude so many open areas in the trilogy.

As the previous two books of this series, good story, bad writing, lots of flaws in the projection..
there were a lot of inconsistencies in the story itself, and well, the numbers were just off (of the armies,ships etc..)
I thought the ending was really good and it was comparatively well written.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, just wish that he'd spent more time on the language.

The book doesn't do justice to its predecessors.
An okayish conclusion to what could have been a great series.
Still, I appreciate the vision and writing of the author.
He found a way to get youngsters excited about Indian Mythology.

This was such a disappointment after reading the first two books! I don't even know why it's been named the oath of the vayuputras . The story has been dragged so much describing each war endlessly and then all of a sudden the series ends in a dramatic way . I had to force myself to sit up and complete the book , a big disappointment after so much anticipation!

A great mixture of philosophy, war, mystery and mythology. though mythology is at times bent to make it realistic but the over all effort makes it worthy
