into a serious habit, as he started reading novels of master storytellers. This
inspired Piyush to tell good stories. Soon after his graduation, he started
writing stories.
Then there was a time when it became difficult for him to
write. Writer's block, perhaps? But soon the story of a boy, a prince-to-be,
who had everything taken from him, cropped up in his mind. Thus, began an
adventurous and intriguing journey into the mythical world of Aryavart. The
journey is an ongoing one.

REVIEW
It won’t be a long insightful review like usual, rather an
average length. I’ll just point out what you need to know about this book.
The Myth: Prince Chandra and Demon’s War is a fictional
story set in ancient India, maybe before Medieval India. It can be categorized
as a fantasy because it had dark magic aspects also. Talking about the narration, it
was third-person point of view and followed many characters throughout the
plot.
Along with that comes writing style, it was exhausting. Author
has used very simple language, though expositions are divided into many numbers
of short sentences which was really tiring to read. There were paragraphs which
I thought could be interpreted in one sentence as well. Other than that, this
habit resulted in redundancy. Like the same thing was being conveyed through
various different sentences. So, according to me, the narration was bit
stretched otherwise, the format, sequence of different scenes were good.
Location and setting were great. The portion of Aryavart on
which author focused in the book was built just perfect, the Gurukul and
Sindhudurg are fine example of that. Talking about the theme, the plot was
mysterious and very unpredictable as it was completely concealed from the
reader what actually was going on. The secrets indeed were revealed on the go
which made sense. The action part of the book is really interesting, as I’m
writing this, I remember those scenes. My favorites were the one battle in grassland
and the fight in the climax.
Although the end wasn’t much interesting to me because of
some reasons but the climax was satisfying. Also, few supporting characters were
just strong and amazing like Aditi and a few of Gurus.
Meanwhile, the writing style thing ruined my experience of
this book and it became too confusing when the narrator talked about people without
addressing them by specific identities, like an old man, the person who did this
and that. That’s all. Good plot and exhausting writing style which consumed
much more time than it should.
Happy Reading!
