The novel starts with introducing the protagonist Shiva. This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma recast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods. The title chooses for this paper is Amish Tripathi’s first novel The Immortals of Meluha. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’ Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil? To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha–a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.

![]() It's a pity we don't see this happening right from the start with this third book. It would have been a shock to see her become a Special - one of the horrid, vulpine Gestapo-type agents - and to go from there to seeing her taking control of her own choices in life, including appearance, and possibly putting her city-state to rights. I assume, at least, however quickly they all came out, that there was a time when we didn't know before we started that the title of the books were the status of Tally. I wish I had been in at the start with this series. The bad news is that her ugliness is a temporary disguise, and worse than that - she knows how to feel special inside, because she IS A Special. The good news is that this woman is our returning heroine, Tally. She is going to a party, looking ugly, and she knows it is not what we look like, but how special we feel inside, that is of most importance. After a teenage life as an ugly, they all undergo a welter of medical procedures, to make their minds and bodies conform to the bland, but gorgeous, society norm. In the un-named city of the future, all the adults are living in the delusion that their city is right. ![]() Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Books ![]() Summary: Not quite on a par with the others, but this series closer will be essential reading for many, and won't exactly disappoint. ![]() ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. “Inventive, quirky, gentle, and sweet.”- School Library Journal “Readers may find themselves turning the pages as if carried along by a gentle but unstoppable wave.”- Publishers Weekly A good choice for goofy, interactive read-alouds.”- Booklist (starred review) ![]() “This positive, upbeat, and comforting bundle is sure to bring smiles.

I’m always thrilled to discover new ideas in the genre, so I’m extremely pleased to have found this book, even if it didn’t quite live up to my (admittedly pretty high) expectations.ĭevon is a modern day nomad, never staying in one place for very long. So Sam Burns definitely came up with something very unusual, if not unique. I’ve read a ton of fantasy books, with varying degrees of romance, but I’ve never read a book with a romance between a fairy and a werewolf. So when I read the blurb of “Blackbird in the Reeds”, I knew I had to have this book. I love it when there’s several different fantasy creatures in one book and I’ve always had a thing for fairies. This novel is intended for adult audiences, and contains swearing and sex scenes. ![]() Devon has to get to the bottom of it all before the accidents turn deadly. From his childhood best friend to the too-attractive Deputy Wade Hunter, everyone in Rowan Harbor seems to have something to hide. When his grandmother asks him to look into a string of suspicious accidents, he finds a much bigger mystery to unravel. Devon Murphy has never believed that there were fairies at the bottom of the garden, but when he’s in an accident on his way to his grandmother’s house and comes face to face with the biggest, baddest wolf he’s ever seen, he’s forced to reconsider. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson.
