The Broken Sun by Alokita Sharma

Year Published : 2016
Publisher : Petals Publishers
Pages : 135

                                      Book Synopsis

Anay had everything he could ask for. A job he loved. A girlfriend he adored. He was getting recognition for his work. Life should have been dandy then. When layers were peeled off from this so called dandy life of Anay, he loved his assistant more, his girlfriend was dead and his research was missing.

He was truly broken. People knew his deepest-darkest secrets, his father was still a bastard and he was a murder suspect. In nine hours his life has taken a drastic turn. Could he survive this?


                                       My Review

The Broken Sun is a story of a boy who lost his love in every possible way , be it getting love from his own biological mother , be it his biological father who reluctantly ignored him like a shit or his girl friend whom he loved and stayed with her for six years . He lost all , may be he was too small to understand why her mother left or may be he was too baffled to accept the on going changes around him . And then in few hours his life turned upside down completely leaving him in a fix and disdain .

Author Alokita Sharma , has appropriately chosen the title of the book ‘ The Broken Sun ‘ it says all once you are done with the book . The Broken Sun , story of ‘ being shattered ‘ . The cover of the book was very catchy for me , it revels the pain and the hatched revenge . Being romantic thriller , the cover suits the best .

Anay , a kid who lost his mother when he stepped to the stage where he started to learn and study about the surroundings  , a loner lover , a perfect boyfriend but then something happened and his ‘ Best Boyfriend ‘ tag changed to ‘ Worst Boyfriend ‘ but in all this happening he cursed the man , whom he needed the most and who had all his answers to his questions about his life , his ‘ father ‘ . Anay , being the protagonist , I found him the most potential character of the book . Author had perfectly penned him !!
The second character I enjoyed was Mithya . While reading her , I was really occupied with couples of names , who are living and lived her lovelorn life . Sometimes the karma happened for a reason . When we say not to neglect the things , we really must not do that because we really are clueless about the people which may get effected due to our deed . And so Mithya was . A gullible heart which turned like a stone .

There were many portions where I enjoyed a lot but the favorite one was the diary of girl who had her love of life with her but he was not there, she wanted everything back to normal but the destiny has treasured odds for her . The other one was the struggle of a mother , how she left the world just let her only son live .

The overall the story was good but sometimes I felt the thriller portion could have been better and some portions confused me . The author could have added few more words to the stories so that the book could be a more better . Apart from this , the book require strong editing which creates obstacle while reading to me .

The book was good, I loved the synchronization of past and present in the book . A strong point! . The language was simple and readable . The book was completed in a single sitting and the last few pages were worth page turner.
I rate the first installment of The Broken Sun series 3/5 rating . Good job Author .
