My Rating 4.4/5
Synopsis
Drops of blood from a pure soul taint a famed kingdom, giving rise to a rebellion that now oversees a public execution. A bereaved Commander happens upon twins bearing a mysterious past and takes them under his wing. Eight years later, a surge in power within the twins calls on an uncontrollable threat that comes crashing down upon a glorious empire, rendering it to ashes and rubble. A quest to learn his children's past reveals a horrifying, age-old prophecy. Haunting words spoken from an artifact reveal to the monarch, his council, and the twins a clue and an unavoidable choice.
My Thoughts
This is a genuinely exciting, even thrilling, adventure, and probably the best adventurous story that has yet been told (or that I’ve yet come across, to be fair about my inexperience).
Story Re-readability is High, I’d reckon. Tejaswini’s a master storyteller, and wastes no time with anything that might be uninteresting. The pace is fairly quick, but the characters and plot fleshed out enough, and the turns of event are fascinating not just for plot reasons, but for what they reveal about the characters involved.
I surely want to pick up the book again and read it cover to cover. And I must say, it’s gratifying to read one of the amazingly written book—especially one so oft adapted and clearly outlined in the popular imagination—and have the adventure and characters be so fresh, so lively, and so colorful.
Of course, it’s a rollicking, red-blooded, action-packed adventure story, too. That Tejaswini can balance such keen observations about human nature with such fun is a testament to her skill. And she makes it look easy!
Recommendation, Yes, for every reader. This book is everything it promises, and a little bit more. It is the definitive interesting and adventurous story. It’s a fast-paced adventure.
A must read for sure!
