"Reverting and Unforgettable" - Amish Tripathi.
"Ultra-Super-Fabulous"- Me.
Jash Sen, an IIM Graduate, an IT professional and a Mathematics teacher makes her writing debut with a very fast paced and engaging story which combines the key events of history with the whimsical imagination of the future. Forwarding the legacy of Indian writers like Amish and Ashwin Snanghi, Jash brings up a tale which has its root in the end of "Mahabharata" era. The perfect to the point narration of the writer keeps the reader engaged and thus makes the book a page turner.
The story of The wordkeepers starts from an important act in the Mahabharata era which lays the seeds for series of events to happen in future. The story then jumps to the present (Which is in year 2028) where it proceeds with two protagonist characters Anaya and Bilal who are blessed with certain secret legacies of which they both are unaware. They both living in two different parts of the country are bound to join each other so as to save the world from entering into a worse, miserable condition that Kali (the antagonist) is planning for it.
The story begins right from the first page and paces up as proceeds. The writer has managed to hold the nerve of reader's interest to such an extent that the reader may read the whole book at once. The story runs in two tracks, which is another key point which manages to keep the pace and interest of narration. Being the first part of a trilogy The Wordkeepers not lays the foundation of an ineresting story but also have created a unique platform for the writer to run a long race in world of story telling.
Although the book is perfectly framed, crisped for unnecessary events, it seems that the writer was very keen to make it very action oriented. In this quest somewhere the classic detailing is found missing for instance, there is no detailing of Anay's surrounding environment like friends, neighbors etc. Though these points do not have much effect on the story but the characters whereabouts are left untold which results in a situation that a reader does not have much information about the back story of the characters.
The classical loving audience may find it a quick wrapped , a high potential story underutilized while the mass action lovers may find it an extraordinary fantastic stuff. I personally loved the entire journey of the first part and eagerly waiting for the further installments for more action and adventure. I'll give it a three and a half stars out of five and recommend it to all the readers who follow Amish similar kind of contents.
