#BookReview : Raavanputr Meghnad by Kevin Missal




This is the story of the greatest warrior in the Ramayana.
Meghnad was the perfect son of the tyrannical king — Raavan. Ever since his childhood, he was taught one thing: to be ruthless.
Honed by the greatest gurus, Meghnad grew up to be the conqueror of Amravati, the capital of the Devas.
He battled Lord Indra.
He defeated Lord Ram.
But then … he fell in love.
Her name was Prameela and she was a Naga princess. And she knew something that no one did: the truth behind Lady Sita’s abduction.
But this story is not about the Ramayana. This is about the greatest warrior of all time who learned the truth behind the war he was fighting …
And gave up.
The question is — what was that truth?
Bestselling author Kevin Missal brings to you an unforgettable saga about Raavan’s oldest son — the Prince of Lanka — Raavanputr Meghnad!!!

Raavanputr Meghnad is a mythological story by Kevin Missal published by Simon and Schuster India. The author is a 21 year old graduate from St. Stephen’s College, who has written four novels till now ranging from crime to mythology to horror. He is also the co-owner and co-founder of Kalamos Literary Services, which publishes and promotes fledgling writers to make a mark in the literary industry.

Indrajit or Meghnad as he is more famously known as was a fierce warrior, we know him as Ravana’s son who had left Lakshman unconscious and Hanuman had to bring a whole mountain to get Sanjeevani which  woke him up. This book aims to delve deeper into his story & bring out all the different aspects to his life & the surrounding story around him. Get this book here to read the full story,
Dealing with mythology is a tricky thing because major parts of it is already known to masses hence to make your story more interesting the author has to include something which the reader doesn’t know yet & that takes effort, luckily the author has done that in this book. The pacing of the book is constant & hence doesn’t bore you out though I believe some parts could’ve been omitted to make it a racy read. The whole premise was set with full attention to detailing. The language used is simple, the cover is breathtaking. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read more about different aspects of Ramayana. Pick it up!
