Namaste,

Has anyone read any of the books in this trilogy? Any comments?

Don't go anywhere near this blasphemous and literarily incompetent work.

Namasté,

I offered my opinion of it, in a comment titled "Arjunī through email", on this blog post here (http://indiatemple.blogspot.ca/2012/11/the-disaster-called-immortals-of-meluha.html).

The tl;dr version: Yuck, yuck, yuck. I wish I could demand back the time I spent reading the first book in the trilogy, and needless to say I won't touch the others. :p

Namaste,

Thanks Omkara and Arjuni, for adding few extra hours to my life, which I would have lost, had I read this trash.

Pranam.

I started the first one..still lying on my shelf..bought it more than a year back. I never regretted wasting 250/- on anything than this book. The language is incompetent with narration akin to Indian bollywood masala movies. I couldn't finish the book and had to ask a friend of mine to tell me the story.
