REVIEW

Narration

Ashok and the Nine Unknown is the first of a two-part series which is based on Ashoka the Great, an Indian emperor of Maurya dynasty, who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from 268 to 232 BC. The story is narrated in third-person point of view. The writing style is mostly descriptive and thus, poetic in nature. It captivated me from the very first chapter and with each chapter, having something to reveal, kept me to the edge. The narration follows two main characters, Ashok and Amartya. So, the story switches between two of them. 

Location and Setting

The story begins with the post-war scene of Kalinga War, which he conquered and defeated Kalinga (Modern Odisha). Then, he finds himself responsible for devastating countless lives and for the first time meets Amartya, a Kalingan warrior. Then, to achieve peace of mind, Ashok travels all over India (Bharat), visits famous dhamas, converts from Hindu to Buddhism. It all takes place between 261 BC and 239 BC and moves further to the end of the first book (231 BC). Major events of this book take place in Kalinga, Patliputra (Empire’s Capital, Present Day- Patna), and Mayong (Also known as the land of Black Magic in Assam). The story reflected Indian archeology, Indian culture and its heritage, be it arts of medicine or great rivers. 

Theme

Ashok and the Nine Unknown is a work of Historical Fiction. The author has researched well, Ashok’s kingship and all the facts and myths related to it. The author Anshul Dupare carried out them well to put the tales altogether and created this masterpiece. There are battles, magic, black magic, mysteries, more cultures other than Indian, brutality, love and only one king to be considered responsible for all that happens. There is one more important aspect to the story, Nine Unknowns. Ashok secretively forms this group to preserve the knowledge and to prevent further destruction. The story doesn’t ever slow down for a bit, because there is happening a lot, page after page.

Plot

First, characters. Amartya plays a very important role in the story and Vatsal is his brother and only family member alive. As a proud and freedom-loving Kalingan, Amartya stands against Ashok, who, now feel remorse for what he has done and seems to be changed. Amartya, in search of a purpose for his life, travels to Mayong. Ashok, with the help of Radhagupta (Chief Minister) gathers Nine Unknowns. Characters are well crafted and their arcs are really interesting. As the story progresses, mysteries are discovered. As they all are moving towards uncovering the secrets, they are unaware of the danger of shadows looming over Ashok and the Nine Unknowns. Following the conflicts, many deaths prevail. Eventually, the characters who survive, find their motivation. As I said before, author Anshul Dupare has brought many cultures together other than Indian. All the characters meet to conclude the first book. The ending brings greater mysteries along with it. Characters get new purposes for their lives. And I am already looking forward to the second and the final of ASHOK duology.

'Until the power of love overcomes the love of power, there can be no peace.'

My Views

There is mention of Kunala, one of Ashok's son but never mentioned any of his queens. Haha... That's not my concern. JK. 😂

First of all, I never expected it to be this magical. Bringing together these Timaeus and Critias, Egyptian Mythology, Chinese Mythological creatures, the great Indian Empire and powerful enough characters to lead this fictional exemplar that I’ve ever read regarding History of India and Indian Mythology. The book depicts that one’s arrogance and ego can destroy humanity. And there would be much more I couldn’t extract, the greater meaning, maybe one of you can do that. With those brutal fights, there is love too. Vatsal and Karnika (One of the Nine Unknowns) fill that desired portion of love/romance in the book. I would recommend this book to every fiction, fantasy, history lover. Now, I am already anticipating the other half after this unforeseen experience.

Thank you Bookgeniepr for this review copy!! Happy Reading!

Top 10 Most Anticipated Books of 2019

Hello Readers' fam! Today I present to you...

My Top 10 Most Anticipated Books of 2019


So here are The Top 10 Most Anticipated Books releasing in 2019 which I can't wait to read and I really hope I get to read each one of them despite of my current huge TBR (To Be Read) pile. There is 1 book which will be releasing in 2020 January from one of my favorite authors, so I have counted it also.

I wish that all would prove to be 5 STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for me. These all are from my favorite NY Times Best Selling authors. Four books from this Top 10 Most Anticipated Books list are sequels to my favorite novels from favorite authors. Three of the remaining six books are first books in the fresh new series from some amazing authors I adore.

The list is sorted by release dates (as per my best knowledge) from March 2019 to January 2020. Let's Dive In.

10. Children of Virtue and vengeance (Legacy of Orïsha #2)

Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Children of Virtue and Vengeance


First things first. If you haven't checked my Top 10 list of 2018 then check it here - Top 10 Most Favorite Books of 2018. Thanks! Now you know, which books and/or genre I love the most.

Legacy of Orisha was declared a trilogy by Tomi Adeyemi. The first in the series Children of Blood and Bone was completely successful and made it to #1 on The New York Times Bestsellers List. The story follows the character Zelie Adebola who's mother was killed by a brutal King Saran who rules over the land of Orisha. The second in the trilogy was announced to be released on 7th of March this year but just few days back Tomi Adeyemi re-announced that the book will be releasing late this year on 3rd December. After reading the Children of Blood and Bone, I was waiting for second release desperately because this is the story you cannot wait to explore. But now have to wait longer. However there are a lot anticipated releases in between so nothing to worry about.

9. The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu (The Eldest Curses #1)


Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

As we all know (or by now you'll know) that Cassandra Clare is also the #1 New York Times Bestseller, author of The Shadowhunter Chronicles. Now, she has declared the first book in the all new series (The Eldest Curses) writing along with award winner sci-fi author Wesley Chu. The series follows characters, High Warlock Magnus Bane from the Shadowhunter Chronicles and his boyfriend Alec Lightwood. Who are on a vacation in europe, when the news arrives about the demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand. I bet this is going to be as awesome as other cassandra Clare works. The Red Scrolls of Magic is planned to be released on 9th of April this year.

8. Again, but Better by Christine Riccio



Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Again, but Better by Christine Riccio

Christine Riccio is one of my favorite Booktubers, she makes awesome bookish content and about writing too. Again, but Better is the story about giving yourself a second chance and being brave enough to try again. I read the synopsis on Goodreads and Shane is already making me curious. The story is about Shane, a college student living same monotonous life. now, she needs change and signs up for a semester abroad in London. Then she faces the problems with 'being outside her comfort zone' but she finds out that with right amount of courage and determination one can tackle anything. This is going to be magical and I can't wait to read it. As of now, many are facing the same fear of being outside the bubble. Be it a magic or self-confidence, we have to arm ourselves with such power that can conquer your fears. Love from India, Christine Riccio! Again, but Better will be launched on 7th May.

7. Tunnel of Bones by Victoria Schwab (City of Ghosts #2)


Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Tunnel of Bones by Victoria Schwab

Victoria Schwab is American fantasy author best known for her Vicious and the Shades of Magic series. I've seen many booktubers recommending her books for so long and she has been favorite author for many of them. Tunnel of Bones is the sequel of her City of Ghosts, which follows the character named Cassidy. Cassidy can see ghosts and then she finds Lara who also can see dead. Lara tells her that as In-betweener, their job is to send ghosts permanently beyond the veil. Well that is the story of the first book City of Ghosts which was set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Now it sets in Paris where her parents are shooting a new TV show about most haunted cities in the world as before. She is with her ghost friend Jacob (of course) and again some spirit is haunting the city. As the first in the series did charms on us, I would love to discover the haunted Paris. Tunnel of Bones will be released on 3rd Sept.

6. Starsight by Brandon Sanderson (Skyward #2)


Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Starsight by Brandon Sanderson


Brandon Sanderson is American fantasy and science fiction writer best known for his Cosmere Universe, in which his most of the fantasy novels are set. He is also known for finishing Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. The series follows a great, powerful, strong, funny  character, protagonist, Spensa. I've heard alot about her in last few months from readers who read Skyward, the first book in the series. She longs to be pilot but for some reason her last name wouldn't allow her to be one. when she discovered M-Bot, an AI driven ancient ship, she realizes that her dream might be possible. The Skyward ended with such a climax and directs to the second book. This is going to be more of Spensa and more flying and fighting in planes. The release of Starsight is planned on 29th Oct.

5. Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (Alex Stern #1)

Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo


In 2018, my goal was to read Six of Crows Duology, which got so much hype in 2018, everyone was talking about it. However, i couldn't read it but I learned a lot about the world she has created which is known as Grishaverse. Leigh Bardugo is known for her Grisha Trilogy and Six of Crows Duology. These all books are set in the Grishaverse. I am in love already, how booktubers are talking about it. Whoa! I hope this  year I get to read it all. Ninth House is first in the series which would follow the character Alex Stern, who is 20 yo high-school dropout with a criminal past. And mysteriously get a second chance as a Yale University freshman. I am so into it. Ninth House is expected in October this year. (Probably 1st Oct.)

4. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern


As you all know by reading the last post: Top 10 Favorite Books of 2018, Erin Morgenstern and her  The Night Circus has charmed all the readers with the phantasmagorical tale of the two empowered magicians. Now after so long wait of six years, she is back with another (her second) captivating novel. The Starless Sea will be following a character named Zachary Ezra who finds an unusual book in the library in which he encounters his own childhood. Strange right? Intriguing. There is much more in the synopsis.Have a look at the Goodreads page. It is going to be as fantastic as The Night Circus. I am craving more of Erin Morgenstern's 'fairytale in one way or another'. We love you so much. The Starless Sea will be released on 5th November.

3. Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell (Simon Snow #2)

Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell


I am f*ing excited to know what happens with Simon and Baz. The first book Carry On was so fun, comic, romantic and MAGICKAL. The characters, their bond of friendship and relationship, the magic, the vampire, the locks of hair (one of my favorites). I just loved it. I don't wanna spoil but the ending was a bit sad. I can't wait to see how they are getting along while they've lost the connection which brought them together. Would they be able to Carry On? FYI, I just love'em. Wayward Son was to be released next year but Rainbow Rowell preponed it to 7th Nov. this year. Hurray!

2. Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare (The Last Hours #1)


Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare

I've already said but again, Cassandra Clare is awesome. Her Shadowhunter Chronicles are most famous like she has won so many awards for this and now she is back with another Shadowhunters Trilogy and Chain of Gold is first in the series where evil hides in plain sight and the only thing more dangerous than fighting demons is falling in love. In Cassie style, this is going to be great and look at the cover! It is out already and so Shadowhunter vibes. Chain of Gold is expected to get released on 19th Nov.

1. Infinity Son by Adam Silvera (Specters #1)


Most Anticipated Books of 2019 List by Dhiraj Sindhi
Infinity Son by Adam Silvera

Adam Silvera. I am his huge huge fan. No kidding, he's awesome. I just love him (*blushing*). Adam Silvera is New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End, More Happy Than Not and History Is All You Left Me. And What If It's Us co-written with Becky Albertelli (Author of Simon vs. Homosapiens Agenda) was fabulous. He is tall for no reason and lives in New York City. He always talks about fan-fictions and fantasy characters of Harry Potter and more. Finally he has come with fantasy series called Specters. Infinity Son is the first in series. Adam said that there will be PHOENIXES. Whoa sold!! And it is not arriving sooner than January 2020.

10. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson


Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Treasure Island (Penguin Classics Crossword Edition)


I grew up watching varieties of this iconic Treasure Island story. There are cartoons from Doraemon to specifically focused on sailing theme like animated series, The Legends of Treasure Island which all take reference from this work of Robert Louis Stevenson. This was the first classic book I read and enjoyed a lot despite tough glossary. The plot and storyline you always can discover from Wikipedia or in this case, watch animated movie! So I will not mention about the story much in this post (maybe in upcoming blog series of reviews). There is everything, mystery, action, sailing, lovely and powerful characters. I learned the terms about sailing, the mast and the harbour and the schooner and the pirates and Jolly Roger! 'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!' I loved this song. You should definitely pick this if you haven't read this yet. You're gonna love it, specially the characters John Silver and Jim.

9. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry



The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
The Little Prince (Fingerprint Pocket Classics Edition)


The Little Prince is that one book, which you should read once in your lifetime. It is also third most translated book in the world after The Bible and The adventures of Pinocchio. It left me with questions at the end as intended by the author. The book showcases the nature of grown-ups and their ability to think limited. There are world famous quotations by fox in this book on human relationships, which are the best part of the book. This book addresses to moral values if you pay attention to them. I would recommend this book to everyone on this earth to read it once.

8. Until Love Sets Us Apart by Aditya Nighhot




Until Love Sets Us Apart by Aditya Nighhot (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Until Love Sets Us Apart (Fingerprint Publishers)


If you haven't checked my review about this book yet, then you should check it out right now HERE. The story is inspired by true incidents. The plot kept me to the edge and this is the only book I finished in just two sittings. The author Aditya Nighhot has managed well to carry out all the consequences in the plot and explains that 'Nobody is innately bad or evil but circumstances changes people drastically'. With that the author conveys his message to his readers that 'Nothing is impossible. If we strive hard together, we can definitely bring change in our society which is filled with few individuals having sick mentality'. The story also shows how true friendship and relationship grows with time. I really recommend this to everyone for the message being conveyed.

7. Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami



Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Norwegian Wood (Vintage Books)


'Death exists, not as opposite but as a part of life.' This quote started my journey with Haruki Murakami. And I now know that Haruki Murakami is one of the best novelists in the world. His writing style is mesmerizing and mind blowing. Originally written in Japanese which is translated in English by Jay Rubin. Let me save you a search on wikipedia 'The plot is the nostalgic story of loss and burgeoning sexuality'. The protagonist Toru thinks back to his life when he was in college. Norwegian Wood touched my heart and soul. It is about life, death, relations and sex. Most importantly the setting of Japan. You will just love to walk around in streets of Tokyo and more cities.

6. Turtles All The Way Down by John Green


Turtles All The Way Down by John Green (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Turtles All The Way Down (Penguin Random House UK Special Limited Edition with Jacket Poster)


Turtles All The Way Down is really close to my heart and relatable too. It is the first published work  of John Green since his 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars. This book directly addresses to mental illness.The protagonist Aza Holmes is high school student with OCD and is on search for fugitive with her best friend. She goes through so much of internal conflicts daily and then she reunites with her old friend Davis. You see what I'm trying to say. The story goes on with that internal mess which really makes it heart stomping. If one is suffering from clear anxiety or any disorder or any mental illness, it needs serious attention. If it relates to you in any way like I do, then you have to read this and it will only make a positive difference. Just like The Fault in Our Stars its not another Young Adult Fiction, it is special and is as personal to me as it is to John Green.

Buy Turtles All The Way Down on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2SNdVsR


5. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern


The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
The Night Circus (Vintage Books)


The Night Circus is 2011 debut fantasy💗 novel by Erin Morgenstern, written for annual writing competition NaNoWriMo over the span of three NaNoWriMos. This book is literally one magical and enchanting and surreal and breathtaking. As I'm writing this, I'm craving to  read it right now, again. Now, The Night Circus is before my eyes. The first line of the novel 'The circus arrives without warning.' caught me by nerves and I knew this was for me and I loved it a lot. An instagram handle recommended me this and I am very thankful to them, though I don't remember who. The plot is about a duel between two great magicians and The Night Circus (Le Cirque des Rêves which translates to  The Circus of Dreams) is the venue for that. The writing style and the plot is simply fantastic as they say Erin Morgenstern is a writer and an artist who describes all her work as being 'fairy tales in one way or another'. This phantasmagorical debut work of her affected my imagination deeply. If you are fan of fantasy and magic, then this is must and is for you.

I am back. Seriously I am back after reading the Prologue (Anticipation) of The Night Circus. and in few minutes it painted my mind in Black and White circus stripes. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!! I'll just read it and then get back to this post. LOL.

4. Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkban by J.K. Rowling


Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkban by JK Rowling (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkban (Flipkart Fake Edition)


Confession: I am a Potterhead and I LOVE Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling and it should be on top at number one.There will not be any universe like Potterverse and Hogwarts but for some reasons I enjoyed the next top three books more than this. Maybe I like more of Young Adult so yeah.

🔔 SPOILER ALERT 🔔

As always when I think about any Harry Potter book/movie, it fills my heart with warmness, magic, dark magic and above all, pure love and pure friendship. Like any of Harry Potter book, this also is full of powerful moments and those characters! One of my favorite part of this book was Sirius Black, godfather of our Harry. His background and his relation with James. This one is such a sentimental rollercoaster ride (Well which one isn't?) for finally meeting his official guardian from whom he can expect parental love (Exception: Mr.& Mrs. Weasley) and who would protect Harry at any cost. The journey starts with aunt Marge and then Knight Bus. Crookshanks and Ron's Scabbers! Azkaban, Dementors and Remus Lupin (My favorite DADA teacher)! Buckbeak and Professor Trelawney! Minerva, Hermione and Time-Turner! Werewolf and the black dog! Harry's casting 'Expecto Patronum' and finally escaping of fugitive! LOVE, LOVE and PURE LOVE!

3. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi


Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Children of Blood and Bone (Pan Macmillan India)


Children of Blood and Bone is a young adult fantasy debut novel by Nigerian-American novelist, Tomi Adeyemi. She has built a whole new world, Orïsha. Where the ruthless King Saran rules over two conflicting cultures, Maji who have unique magical abilities and Kosidán, the nobles. The King Saran has taken away the magic from the land of Orïsha. Zélie Adebola, the lead character and her trio strives hard for reinvigorating the magic back to the land. Absolutely the epic one. Tomi Adeyemi made this attempt in response to police brutality and violence against black americans. She drew an inspiration from paintings in gift-shop (Brazil) of african gods and goddesses and says "It really made me think about all the beautiful images we never see featuring black people." The plot is just amazing! I wasn't able to sleep for couple of nights thinking what will happen next. Hence, I had to finish this in few days. Again, the world she has created is phenomenal. Double thumbs up for this dark yet stubbornly magical.

Buy Children of Blood and Bone on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2VD1YYe

2. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell


Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Carry On (Pan Macmillan India)


Carry On is that one young adult fiction (set in the space inspired by Harry Potter) with that queer romance, I would love to read it again and again. It is difficult to explain where this book came from but what is wikipedia for? In short it is a fanfiction based on fictional series of novels ('Simon Snow') within Rowell's novel Fangirl written by protagonist of Fangirl, Cath. However, she says that it is not meant to be seen as written by Cath. There is unique kind of magic and Watford, school for wizards and witches. There are homosexual relationships and romance too. Simon Snow is the worst 'Chosen One' ever according to his roommate Baz. Talking about that, I want to reread this now. Also the conflicts between distinct classes within magical community and the politics are the major plot points here and are interesting as it carries the story further. I just LOVE Carry On and is close to my heart  💗. (*There is comedy too*)

1. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz



Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz (Top 10 Books Dhiraj Sindhi)
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (Simon and Schuster BFYR)



You must be knowing by now that Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz is one of my favourites. You see the title of my blog? Yeah. Dedication goes like "To all the boys who've had to learn to play by different rules." The format of the book is divided into six sections and each one is preceded by an epigraph. The first quotation (epigraph) that touched me is 'The problem with my life was that it was someone else's idea.' Two discrete characters from very different cultures and family backgrounds become friends in the summer of 1987. Ari and Dante have their own problems with life and have really different perspective towards that. After being friends, universe conspires to teach them the truths about their life. The book is filled with emotions. Their families and their relation with their parents is what carries the plot where it supposed to move. Between all this the story goes through all sorts of hurdles and then finally they discover the secrets of the universe.
