Today, He is a God.
4000 years ago, He was just a man.
The hunt is on. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati. Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. His vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the serpent people. Of that he is certain.
The evidence of the malevolent rise of evil is everywhere. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle drug. A crown prince is murdered. The Vasudevs Shivas philosopher guides betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. Even the perfect empire, Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of births. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game.
In a journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India, Shiva searches for the truth in a land of deadly mysteries only to find that nothing is what it seems.
Fierce battles will be fought. Surprising alliances will be forged. Unbelievable secrets will be revealed in this second book of the Shiva Trilogy, the sequel to the #1 national bestseller, The Immortals of Meluha.

I really enjoyed [b:the first volume 7913305 The Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy, #1) Amish Tripathi https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1334659192s/7913305.jpg 11196793] but this one fell flat. Uninteresting storyline, predictable plot twists, and completely hollow characters; in fact I can't even call them such. Just marionettes moving according to the needs of the plot, with no inner consistency. I won't be reading [b:the third one 12820793 The Oath of the Vayuputras (Shiva Trilogy, #3) Amish Tripathi https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1357242702s/12820793.jpg 17970410].
A pacing of this one was much better than the first ,probably because the first book needed time to establish the character of Shiva. Like the first the struggle to truly grasp what is good and evil remains an interesting thread that runs throughout the series so far. Definitely looking forward to the 3rd book expected by the end of the year.
