BOOK REVIEW: Age of Azmoq – The Valantian Imperium by Rajamayyoor Sharma

Posted May 19, 2018 by @amanhimself in blog, Books, Fiction / 5 Comments

Reading a highly imaginative tale can go either way, the good or the bad. Out of the imagination comes the plot and the characters which form the complete story. The effort of the writer does not diminish itself, but these are the two main factors I look in every fantasy novel. Age of Azmoq – The Valantian Imperium by Rajamayyoor Sharma is a fantasy novel. Azmoq is a rare metal found on the planet. It’s the ultimate source and symbol of real power, and the Valantian Imperium controls it all in Valantia. It is a tale that consists of magic and sorcery. and adventures that fill all 470 plus pages. The storyline of the book is divided into forty-eight chapters. […]

BOOK REVIEW: The Aryabhata Clan by Sudipto Das

Posted May 15, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Fiction / 1 Comment

The delightedness of reading a book depends on very few factors. One of them is how the plot unfolds in front of the reader and his mind. Afterall, every story has some of it. Without a storyline, a book or a novel is spineless. Sudipto Das’ latest work, The Aryabhata Clan is a great example of why storyline matters. The Aryabhata Clan is the second novel in the series after Ekkos clan. The genesis of the plot is coupled with some facts based on author’s research of ancient India, some 1500 years ago. The storyline starts in the present day New Delhi and takes its reader back in time as it advances. The plot is as follows: The Islamic State […]

The plot dives deeper into the lives these two characters as Joya learns about Martin’s Bengali background and is intrigued by the fact stated. She is attracted to the friendliness but also […]

Posted May 6, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books / 16 Comments

I went shopping. A task I try to avoid until its books. Only to make myself calm and to satisfy the lust of buying ebooks, I bought most of the books written by Colin Wright from Amazon. For those who do not know, Colin is many things. He is a traveller, a minimalist, author of many books both in genres of fiction and non-fiction. He also runs a podcast Let’s Know Things and is a co-founder of Asymmetrical Press. I am not advertising anything about Colin in this post. All words are truly mine. Nor Colin is paying me to write this post. I am just excited to read his work. The reason I am excited is that I feel […]
