Read this review of Pradyumna: Son of Krishna online here.

Cover: The cover shows valiant Pradyumna emerging victorious from the battlefield but which one for his battles are many.

Between the pages: Though skeptical about reading another book on Kama as I recently read one on the same lines but being a mythology fan its kya karo control nahi hotha moment and picked up the book with curiosity to know what it has new to offer and I did not regret a bit.

We have heard of Krishna’s raas leelas, his valor and divinity. Can his son be any less than him?

Kama, the one who can ignite passion in Gods has been sidelined and his part is limited to that of turning into ashes by Shiva. However Usha has brought to life the magnanimity of the character not just of Kama but to his earthly form Pradyumna as well.

The author has beautifully interlaced the various elements to form a gripping story. I soared high in the sky on Garuda, lived in the place of Kaalasura, stuck by the beauty of the blue God city and all this by the magic of Usha’s writing, a blend of creativity and eye for detail.

The language simple (read understandable and impeccable) yet brings out the grandeur which elevates the reading experience manifold. The author has striked a perfect balance in the divine characters keeping in touch with their human emotions. Looking forward to read the sequel.

A rapt read and holds your attention from the beginning to end. A book that you cannot afford to miss if you are a mythology fan!
