My Review

Yama is a story of an every ordinary people who find themselves sick of our ruthless system , who wants to punish the slur of the society but all their agitation and wrath remained within themselves but here in this story you would meet a man emerging as a light , a ray of hope and tries to bring change . This is a journey of wailing cry of man which turned himself into Yama the God of Justice , a commander Iravan Rajpoot who swirl between his pasts and presents keeping pace in his life and a reporter Swati Kaushik who struggled for her own existence and one day Yama knocks the door .

When I picked the book I wasn’t sure I would turn out to be a book which will make you dig inside your heart , trust me , your sins will flash once before your eye. When I read the epilogue the level of curiosity doubled inside me and I wasn’t able to take off my eyes from the book . Someway or the other I felt the Author has really researched a lot , I really appreciate this efforts for choosing a genre which we hardly mention in our daily lives more than that his hard work reflects in this book . Hat’s off sir .

From the book , the two persons really had left positive impression on my mind . Iravan Rajpoot and the Yama . Iravan Rajpoot , an dedicated army commander , a caring husband , a good father and a man with perspicuous mind who went on chasing the Yama and discovered himself. He was most gripping character of the story . The second one , Yama , the god of justice ; the man around which the story revolve . Yama , is my favorite because I learned about different mythologies , their nadir , the sins and the punishments and the best of all is the character building of Yama by the author .

Overall the story and presentation was out of the box , the book wasn’t guessing at all . The book consist of threads which are connected to each other and at the end all threads were tied together . But yes , the book require three to four settings to be completed , the reader must have patience before opening it but the book will keep you hooked .

The incidents from the book was lively , I could observe the characters from the real life but my favorite part was , the depiction of hell made my Yama , all sins are categorized and each sin have it’s own way of punishment and Iravan way of working with each clue that Yama had provided and the Yama himself . It was really fascinating !!!

Apart from all , the book could have been proved much better if the chapters were less and the author could have summed up the few plots into one . The large sum of chapter is a drawback which I found and unnecessarily stretched portions . I hope Author would work on it in his next novel and won’t take negative punches as a criticism.

Readers , if you’re really fond of reading thriller I would definitely recommend you this book . The book is actually a gripping one in spite of the portion I mentioned above . The book is really a pack of hard work and research and a strong story . A must read book though one time .

I rate this book for perfect narration , characters and the story 3.5/5 . Dear Author I am looking forward to read more thriller work of yours .
