This fantasy-myth-fiction starts just a few days after the great war of Kurukshetra with Ashwatthama waking up in a desert with the twin curses of leprosy and immortality. The story then follows him in his quest for a cure and for the unfulfilled revenge of killing the Pandavas through a series of adventures and misadventures.
The writing is alright, without much wastage of words, and the story moves along quite well. The problem I had with the novel is that the hero is not portrayed as one; he is just an ordinary man coming to terms with his immortality and rethinking his earlier convictions. There are several people far more powerful than him in this story and Ashwatthama is left with nothing much heroic to do.
In short, this book feels like just the build-up to future adventures, which I hope get published, and published soon, before the readers lose interest in the franchise.… (més)
