Finally. I recently completed Rise of Kali, the second book of Ajaya series and it has been a wonderful journey while reading these books. The writer clears everyone's doubts regarding the first book in just two pages while introducing us to the second book, now for my review of this book I will be focusing upon the technical aspect since theoretically the structure remains the same. So let's talk about it
LINK FOR MY AJAYA BOOK 1 REVIEW : https://vviews11.blogspot.com/2020/12/ajaya-book-1roll-of-dice-book-reviewnon.html
1. CHARACTERS : 9/10 (You can read my blog for the first blog to understand why I gave it this rating)
2. AUTHENTICITY : 8.5 (Some liberties were taken which made the story more relatable and grounded rather than feeling God-like war)
This was just the theoretical aspect of the book. Now let's about the technical aspect of the book
1. PACING : 9/10 (Improvement since my last review because we jump right in the action for the second book which keeps the story moving at a steady speed without being too quick or very stagnant. Still I felt that some scenes could have been trimmed down.)
2. STRUCTURE OF THE STORY : 9.5/10 (Has improved a little bit from the last book but still not up to the level of Amish Tripathi, Ashwin Sanghi, Dan Brown, etc. Now I don't mean to compare, but as each of the previous given writers have very similar writing style and genres, so it's obvious to have some competition. Nonetheless, this book has a really good structure to the story)
INDIVISUAL SCORE:
1. Characters : 9/10 (Brilliant characterization)
2. Authenticity : 8.5 (Liberties which made the story better and not worse when compared to the first book)
3. Pacing : 9/10 (Improvement over last time)
4. Structure : 9.5/10 (Once again, improvement over last time)
OVERALL SCORE:
9/10 (A great conclusion to a great story, both of these books are really good and considering what the material was I applaud Anand Neelkantan for taking on such a humongous task )
Thanks for reading
Next blog would be the movie review on an Indian superhero film which won award at TIFF
