Review -
1)The cover of the book is impressive and clearly depicts that it is about historical mystery and the title of the book is totally apt.
2) The plot of the story is unique and intriguing. It is a perfect blend of history,mystery and thrill which is very well narrated by the author. Hats off to her for brilliant research work.
3) The language used by the author is simple and lucid with a tinge of Sanskrit and Hindi words but glossary is given at the end of the book for better understanding.
4)The book is divided into 12 chapters with prologue and epilogue which is reader's friendly.
5) Characters are very well developed and described by the author. I liked Shaunaka and Tanirika 's character the most.
6) It is a story of curse and revenge with lots of twists and turns. One can easily visualise the scenes and places described in this book.
7) The flow of the book is well paced but looses its grip  in the middle.
8)Overall, a fantastic read.
