Book Review - The Four Elementals : The Skull Warrior

  Title - The Four Elementals : The Skull Warrior Author - Yajat Sharma Genre - Fiction/Fantasy Publisher - Notion Press ISBN - 978- 978-1637147047 This is the second book in The Four Elementals trilogy. I finished reading the first book yesterday and I could not start reading the 2nd one which I started it today and completed it. Having said that, I can't wait to complete the 3rd one too. For those who have read the 1st book would know by now that the Death Lord vowed to return. He summons the much dangerous Skull Warrior using all his powers despite being contained in the 7 pieces of Arcane Crown) who comes to the Dark World and wreaks havoc. Usually, as and when the sequels are released, the curiosity which the first book/edition has created would tend to die but it is not the case with this second book. In fact, it further triggered the interest in me to start reading the third book as well.  Yajat has even mentioned about Covid-19 in one of the instances in this story wh...

Book Review - The Four Elementals : Quest For The Arcane Crown

  Title - The Four Elementals : Quest For The Arcane Crown Author - Yajat Sharma Genre - Fiction/Fantasy Publisher - Notion Press ASIN -  B08YVVZ6LN A brilliant trilogy which has surprised me - for its sheer display of imagination in weaving the characters which is not only appealing but would keep you captivated till the end. Considering the age of the author, I am doubly sure that he would go on to become as famous as JRR Tolkien or J K Rowling. The narration was flawless. It is smooth and not even in one place, you would feel the story is lagging for the lack of punch/sequence. To be really frank, I felt like watching a LOTR but in a different approach with different theme. The story begins with Lord Arcane, who is the creator of Dark World (World inside the Earth) ruling it effortlessly and with perfection. He had innumerable powers which were drawn from the Magical Crown . He foresaw the prophecy of has World being captured by dark forces but the salvation comes in ...

  Title - The Four Elementals : The Pages Of Destiny Author -Yajat Sharma Genre - Fiction/Fantasy Publisher - Notion Press ISBN -  978-1637147047 The Good Kingdom run by the Kings of Necron gets taken over by the evil forces. As the story goes,  Scavenger, Archer, Daniel and James sets off to Jupiter. Why? Pyros could be located in the area called Necron. The reference of Magic Compartments = Cloud space (similarity - Safe & Secure). The kids along with the Scavenger gets a formidable alliance from the inmates of Jupiter called Greenies. Are they powerful? The riddles which were found in the entire story were simply stupendous. Shows how deep Yajat could think. James - intelligent among the kids. He gives some great ideas from time to time. You will understand only when you read the trilogy. The inclusion of Bermuda Triangle to get sucked into the Dark World is a master stroke by the author. The bookmark in the end of each chapter is a brilliantly thought one. Fo...

Title - Congress Mukt Bharat : Is the Modi Era the End of Congress? Author - Amit Bagaria Genre - Non Fiction(Politics) Publisher - Garuda Prakashan ISBN - 978-1-942426-52-3 A very well researched book. Amit Bagaria needs no introduction since he has authored 12 books so far out of which 5 of them have become No.1 Bestsellers.

The book begins with a bang "Was India for Sale?" Shows the shocking revelations of the archives from the former KGB Employee,Mitrokhin. Preface is something you wouldn’t want to miss. It shows the sheer concentration and political acumen of the author who has dissected the information in a picture perfect manner.  The ecosystem shows as to why some corrupt politicians couldn’t be tried or arrested in a crystal clear manner. Do you know? A raid by the ED at Karti Chidambaram’s house yielded a...

This is a real life experience of the author, who at one point in time was doing extremely well(thanks to his Father) but had to face the wrath of dishonesty when his father gets cheated by his partner and subsequently he gets a massive heart attack and eventually succumbing to it. Srikanth, who use to be a cricket aficionado and a player himself, couldn't make it big in the field of Cricket but the interaction he and his brother had with his father before he left for heaven, made him understand the nuances and was  also a life turning event. Firstly, I was moved by the Cover Page. It is designed extremely well which gives you a perfect hint of what you can expect from this book. The book begins with a perfect quote from the auth...
