"The hidden Hindu 2" by Akshat Gupta - Its not a religious book!
This book is published by Penguinebury press in 2022 and has 250 pages. This is Book 2 of the trilogy.
Ashwatthama, Kripacharya and Parshuram are trying to penetrate Om's memories that are somehow locked. They find Devdhwaj in the memories. But who is he? Nagendra is on mission to find and steal nine words that will unlock something very potent. Vrishkapi and Milarepa are attacked. Almost half of the words are lost.
Will Milarepa die? Can Vrishkapi survive? Can Nagendra steal all words? What do the words unlock?
It's a combination of mythology and treasure hunt. Nagendra, LSD and Parimal backed by a mysterious figure on one side and Immortals and Om Shastri on other side. Immortals are losing. To add to it the real identity and past of Om is a mystery that doesn't allow immortals to trust son completely. Moreover, immortals are also not completely united.
The story slows down at times but generally keeps the reader interested. Several references from mythology make it interesting, if you know your mythology.
With several words lost, the evil is closer than ever to overcome good. Wait for the last book of trilogy to know what happens.
Why did I read this book? Liked first book.
What did I like? Concept of immortals fighting for good.
What I didn't like? Pace, at times.
Recommend reading if you have read ebook 1 and intend to read Book 3.
