A review by pin2desai
Scion of Ikshvaku by Amish Tripathi
3.0
This is my first review.
This is first book in RAM CHANDRA series.The world building is amazing.I like small references made through out the book.
Unfortunately what I don't like about this book or Amish writing in general is that he reveals too much.I mean one can predict what is going to happen.Yes, you will say that everyone knows the story but sometimes keeping readers in dark is good too.When author catches me off-guard i like that feeling.Characters feel similar to Siva trilogy and I guess they will develop further in second and third book.But this book felt bland and predictable.
I will end this review with my favorite quote from this book
'An ancient poet once remarked"when the axe entered the forest,the tree said to each other:do not worry,the handle in that axe is one of us"
