Legend of Suheldev: The King |
Overall, it was a chore to get through this book, I did not enjoy reading it even a little.
Another thing that bugs me is character descriptions. Like, we get it, Suheldev is really hot and has "rippling muscles". No need to mention it a hundred times. Another instance of this is when Suheldev witnesses a female character (she has a name but has zero personality so I've already forgotten her name) standing in the rain and he notices that breasts are bigger than he expected them to be and hence finds her really hot. I get it, breasts are attractive but come on! Did a 15 year old write that?
It is obvious that there are going to be more books following this one so I hope they learn from their many, many mistakes.

What the public is saying after buying the
The narrative was clever in
the beginning but went the cliché Bollywood potboiler way very soon.
Now, the idea behind bringing this book is
really good, the story is good, there are good twists and good fight
sequences... and that is the thing it is "Good" not "Great".
As for me I rate the book on the basis of Joy i
feel on reading a book, so this book definately entertained me, the war scenes
were good to read and the feel of reading about a hero's story was great too...
so although it was not a 5 star read, but i can not give it less than 4/5.
The other Characters of Toshani, Govardhan,
Abdul, Ashwaghosh, Sanghmani are good too and they are all great warriors
playing great part in the story,
My final Conclusion is That this book is a good
read and you will like it, just that the mythological fiction books have been
so high that it is just a bit below that but yes, enjoyable...
There is a slight Hint given at the end of the Book on the
Next Book in the Indic Chronicles series, and that is expected to be a really
exciting one too...
Stories like these Do need to come out, because
there have been a lot of Indian Warrior Kings and Queens Who have been erased
from the memories of common peoples of India, and they deserve their stories to
be told and we should read and Cherish them and if possible adapt some of their
Qualities... It is almost like someone else has written this. With
Amish'new concept of having a team writing for him, this does look like
somebody else's work.
The writing fails and while there is enough drama and twists
the story or the drama never rises beyond that paisa vasool state. Characters are
built parallely and introduced to the main storyline at the right time. There
are several suspenses that will keep your breath on hold and make u read
further and further till suspense is revealed.
I found the battle scenes beautifully written by elaboration
of every minute details so that you can see them infront of the eyes.
Book touches various issue that still prevail
and divide the society like casteism,religion,cultural beliefs and gender
inequality. As a reader what I enjoy the most is when I appreciate and
admire characters for whom I held contempt at the beginning of the story, to a
point that I might even root for that evil character as the story develops, and
enjoy the tussle between the dark and the light. Towards the end of the story I
felt robbed of it.
The character of Aslan deserved to be more than
who was revealed in the later chapters. I was expecting strategy and depth,
waiting for a good contest between Suheldev and Maqsud, but what I got was
someone unremarkable; a coward who hid his identity, instead of an impostor — a
master strategist, who was brave enough to enter the lion’s den. And a
counter-strategy from the King who saved India.The final battle was
descriptive, and I was mesmerised by the sheer detail of it, through the fight
between Masud and Maqsud was exaggerated and it almost took the centre stage.
It almost felt like characters of Abdul, Toshani, Govardhan took a back seat
with Suheldev shining a little bright in comparison to them, but not as bright
as Masud. It felt like the writer drew sadistic pleasure from watching one Turk
kill another.I expected more strategy, detail and depth, but I was left
wanting more. I enjoyed reading the book, though the book could easily have
been extended to a 530 page novel had the writer not resorted to the ‘tale of
judwaas’. The battle could have been more strategic and majestic. I did see a
glimpse of it in the book, which raised my expectations, but I found myself
disappointed on some occasions. Needless to say that my expectation with Amish
is colossal.
