"The Immortals of Meluha" by Amish takes readers on a mesmerizing journey back to 1900 BC, exploring the land of Meluha during the Indus Valley Civilization. Amish's imaginative reimagining of history and mythology is truly inspiring. The concept of a once-great empire facing peril and the emergence of a hero amidst chaos captivated my imagination from the very beginning.The story's relatability lies in the portrayal of the protagonist, Shiva.

The intricate setup of the world and the political turmoil of Meluha paint a vivid picture of the era. The fusion of historical details with mythical elements creates a unique reading experience that keeps you hooked."The Immortals of Meluha" is an intriguing mix of history, mythology, and adventure.

Personally, I expected a blend of mythology and history, and the book exceeded my expectations by adding an element of suspense and intrigue.

🌼 The book was absolutely how I have had heard about it. This was one of those books which made me restless until I finished the book. It's an absolute masterpiece. I know there have also been very critical comments on this books. But this book was a great one for me.🌼This series has 3 books in it :First is The Immortals of Meluha, second is The Secret of the Nagas and the third one is The Oath of the Vayuputras.🌼I never had such a huge crush on a fiction character. The part where Amish describes about Shiva dancing was beautiful which eventually got me crazy. And you know its a great book when you can see the story as though its happening right in front of you. This book is beautifully written and as you are on the verge of finishing this book, the end puts you into this suspense and restlessness as to what the second book holds. This book makes you helpless and puts you into a hype to read the next book to solve the mystery and thats what exactly happened with me .Im so glad to have read this book. As a child I always thought if the ones we worship were normal humans like us how would their life be? And the author has got my imagination in this book.🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Excellent book but got it with folded and torn corners.

Title : The Immortals of MeluhaAuthor : Amish TripathiGenre : Mythological fictionRating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5‘Apparently the earth sometimes thinks of the possibility of coming closer to the sun’ said Sati. ‘But she can’t do that. She is so base and his brilliance so searing, that she will cause destruction if she draws him closer.’‘I disagree,’ said Shiva.What if Shiva, “The God of Gods”, “ The Mahadev” is not a God but merely a human being just like us.Shiva, the chief of Gunas, who resides in Mount Kailash with his tribe, accepts the proposal to migrate to Meluha, the richest and the most powerful empire in India, to lead a peaceful and secure life as compared to Mount Kailash where the security of his tribe is always in danger. On the day when they enter Meluha, Ayurvati, one of the best doctors in the world gives Shiva and his tribe members Somras. After consuming Somras Shiva’s throat turns blue which shocks Ayurvati. Soon he is sent along with Nandi to Devagiri, the capital city of Meluha, to meet Emperor Daksha.Emperor Daksha, a Suryavanshi, is in search of the Neelkanth(the one with blue throat) for years. He believed that only the Neelkanth has the efficiency and skills to save the Suryavanshis from the evil Chandravanshis and Nagas. He also discovered that the Chandravanshis have amalgamated with the Naga tribe, the most dreadful and dangerous tribe, to destroy Suryavanshis forever.Emperor Daksha’s search finally ends when he discovers that Shiva is the Neelkanth. The blind faith of the Meluhans on the Neelkanth and the burden to fulfil their expectations makes Shiva doubt his own skills and efficiency to fight against the evil.Would Shiva be successful in bringing victory to Suryavanshis against the evil ?My Review :This book takes you on a beautiful journey of Shiva, his struggles in discovering his true self, his efficiency as a warrior and his undying love for Sati. It is a perfect mixture of fiction and ancient facts. This book is a perfect read for all the mythology lovers. The author’s style of writing is such that you won’t be able to put the book down. I was so engrossed in the book that certain instances just broke me down. I totally loved the book and will soon pick up the second book “The Secret of Nagas”.
