Quote from the book that piqued my interest to read faster:
“Keep moving God’s chosen one
Neither the past matters nor the future
Here and now Experience something
Ephemeral, divine, truth, equanimity.”
The author has meticulously weaved the mythology with fantasy to make it more riveting. Narration of the storyline is so immersive and vividly done that I finished it in one go.o
Overall, the book is a captivating, gripping and adventurous read. Do grab this book if you like fantasy books.
