"The oath of the Vayuputras", much awaited, 3rd and final book of Shiva triology by Amish.
Destiny of Neelkanth is to identify the evil & take the evil out of equation without offering any alternative. Shiva identifies the evil and declares a holy war.
What is the evil? Who are the enemies? Does he meet the chief Vasudev? Where are the elusive Vsyuputras? What is the oath of Vayuputras? Is it fulfilled?
There is some very good philosophy in this book and its explained in very simple language e.g. overuse of good makes it evil, objectives of institutions of Mahadev & Vishnu etc. Amish has an amazing writing style. The story keeps you on tenterhooks.
You are glued to the book for 480 out of 565 pages. Then it starts going wrong. The great war turns out to be a damp squib. It becoms personal rather than based on principal. Mahadev, the living god breaks his promise. Vayuputras only make a guest appearence.
From a beutifully constructed epic by a master story teller, that captivated India for 2-3 years, Amish suddenly looses interest after page 480 & decids to end the book abruptly, leaving many errors & contradictions. It's wrapped up hurriedly. An anticlimax. Seeds of Mahabharat series are also sowed at the end.
Read it for first 480 pages. Read it bacause you can not 'not read it' after reading first two books. But I was disappointed.
