Book:
Chronicles of the Mortal Vishnu
The Chronicles of The Mortal Vishnu by Antar Atreya is set in the year 3300 of the new age where a new world was established after the annihilation of the old one and the society developed slowly and gradually. The Earth’s firstborn who mentored the new society soon got drunk in his power and became the tyrannical Bhuswami and created a new clan, The Daityas. He, with his penance, got boons from the gods and became invincible and thus turned ruthless. The book also explores the stories of 2 warriors who turn into unmatched warriors and they gain unparalleled powers through penance, hard work and love. While one of the warriors sets to discover his destiny alone, another gains the support of the one destined for him and together they accomplish feats which are beyond the means of any mortal. As the story progresses, each of them realises their destiny and set out to fulfil it. Though the warriors are demi-gods, but when one of them faces a surprise choice, would we see a god turn corrupt or would he choose his destiny?

What if Gods lived among us as mortals? What if our society started from
scratch and we begun afresh? Would be free of all the evils that we see today?

The Chronicles of the Mortal Vishnu has a promising plot and a well
thought out plot. The parallel storylines are well defined and give depth to the
story. Antar Atreya has created the characters well and a reader can mentally
create a picture of each of them to understand how things pan out.
However, the book suffers from some issues that needs to be corrected so
that the entire essence of the story comes out. There are a lot of spelling and
grammar mistakes in the book which take away the concentration of the reader.
The parallel storylines should be marked with something because at times it
becomes difficult which character is being talked about. The maps at the
beginning of the book need to be designed better as they are of not much help
in the current form. Though I liked the ending, it has a few loose ends which should be tied as it
is a long story and no one really likes loose ends, but that is my opinion.
Overall, keeping the issues aside, I somewhat enjoyed the book and would
request the author and the publisher to come out with a revised edition which has
the issues rectified so that this book can be enjoyed to its fullest.
For this book, I will give it 3/5.
