what an interesting mahabhrata inspired fantasy book. i was hooked till the end. the worldbuilding was spectacular and incredible though i was a lil bit unfamiliar with the said major sanskrit epic of ancient india. it was well written an engaging to read. would recommend it to a friend. It is true. No one ever believes they are a villain in their story. The line between good and evil is always a line drawn in the sand. Most of the retellings of ancient Indian epics that exist treat this line as sacrosanct. I wanted to blur it. You can call it unheroic fantasy, scoundrel lit or grimdark – but I want to write a book that focuses on the seedier side of life rather than the shiny because, to me, it felt more honest. Grimdark says something about our world as it is. And the world clearly does contain lots of darkness, violence, death, despair, filth, and pain so to ignore those things, especially in a book that focuses on war, can seem a little dishonest.And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. A brilliantly imaginative talent makes his exciting debut with this epic grimdark fantasy saga inspired by ancient Indian epic Mahabharata and filled with treachery, war and vengeance, in the tradition of Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen Series and George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire Series.

Strong's 1510: I am, exist. The first person singular present indicative; a prolonged form of a primary and defective verb; I exist. Wise, Michael O.; Abegg, Martin G.; Cook, Edward M. (25 October 2005). "The Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation". Harper Collins. pp.368–371. ISBN 0-06-076662-X. The author’s vision, and the world he has created is breathtaking and fascinating. The Indian Fantasy Fiction genre finally comes of age with this book.” – ANAND NEELAKANTAN, bestselling author of Asura and The Bahubali SeriesThis book starts off with a banger of a prologue. It sets up some great world building and finishes off with the promise of future troubles. I'm not really a fan of prologues because I feel most i've read are just glorified first chapters and don't really focus on setting up the world and foreshadowing future events, but I would highly recommend anyone who reads this book to not skip it. The master praised the dishonest servant manager for being so clever, because worldly people are more clever than enlightened people in dealing with their own. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Ye are all.--St. Paul recognises no exceptions, no inner distinctions, among the members of the Church: all stand alike so far as grace, privileges, and duties are concerned. The following exhortation shows that it was a matter of each man's free will whether he would sustain his character as a "child of light" or not.
