I read this years ago as a kid and was hooked. I remember reading all three books back-to-back.
Looking back now, the issues with the book are more apparent. The author's language is kind of verbose, and he uses complex words a lot, seemingly for the sake of it.
There are way too many side characters with no impact, and the story could be much more streamlined.
That said, I still like this book. I love the unique approach of explaining mythical aspects with science—that's something new.
The premise was new to me back then. The book is engaging and not boring at all, despite the flaws.
So, even though the first book ends inconclusively, it's worth a read if you're curious about Indian mythology-inspired fantasy.
