“PRALAY – The Great Deluge” by Vineet Bajpai is a thrilling and intriguing sequel to his previous bestseller “Harappa – Curse Of The Blood River.”
The plot opens with the story so far and takes the readers on a roller coaster ride of mystery, passion, conspiracies and devastation!
Spanning different places on the globe including Harappa, Benaras and Bithynian City ( modern day Turkey ) and different centuries from 1700 BCE to 2017, this gripping tale is bound to engage and enthrall the readers.
The story continues after Harappa and talks about rise and fall of pujari ji. Various secrets including ancient secrets of ancestors of Vidyut are revealed.
The narration is extremely vivid and the readers could imagine the scenes unfolding effortlessly in front of their eyes. Language is lucid and grips the readers throughout. Moreover, the characterization is strong and gives the readers a better sense of the tale!
However, towards the middle of the tale, the book suddenly slows down and it’s pace turns slow, making it difficult for the readers to continue. Also, at times it becomes difficult to follow the storyline as the description becomes too much tangled and incoherent. Later, as the tale proceeds, the enthusiasm and pace returns.
The major disappointment happens to be a third part in the tale, leaving the readers hanging at the edge of a cliff and craving for more!
I found the cover bright, flashy and attractive, hinting at the thrill and suspense contained in the book. The blurb is indeed well written, neither revealing too much nor containing the excitement within itself. The title is catchy too and tries to give away the essence of the tale.
Overall, an interesting, difficult to put down tale!
