Tantrics of Old: Book One of The Tantric Trilogy

Good book to read

Overall quality of the book is good. Coming to the story, its a book about tantrics and different form of devils. Though the story is nice, it is streched too much. Author could have finished the book in 300pages

Nice book, get a bit slow in the middle, but then picks up, I have already purchased the next part which means I liked it. But with the potential of the plot, it could have been better.

Surpassed Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and many anime series of the like, including the horror genre. Krishnarjun Bhattacharya has created a masterpiece. As the book advances, the book becomes harder to put down, up until the epilogue.If you're into magic, dark stuff, horror, mysteries, then stop wasting your time and just buy the trilogy already.

not ok

Mr KrishnaArjun.BossTake a bow.What a book you’ve written. As a fan of fantasy, its the first time I’ve read something so good coming out of India.Barring a few minor tweaks, I dare say ToO is at par with some of the finest fantasy books, games or movies I’ve ever seen.It could’ve easily turned into a mash up of all the genres- scenes from LOTR movies, world building of Final Fantasy, Skyrim, Oblivion, or the stories and drama of Harry Potter and the like. But by infusing such a fine regional setting of Old Calcutta and enlivening the character of Tantrik, you've managed to create something wholly new and original.I particularly loved the switching of dialogue and POVs: the dialogue between Adri and the wraith was smart and Maya reading Adrian’s diary-- in a devilishly clever way, it ushered in flashbacks and painted a background of Adri’s childhood.This endless layering-- of characters and Old Calcutta with magical world, made the story rich, complex and many sided. Characters were complex, and Adri himself was a fascinating, evolving person. His final interaction with Pestilence and Kali was beautifully crafted. Bravo.When the author first ushered in the idea of guns and bullets, I admit I recoiled. Um…can this guy pull it of? But he did. The detail, the mechanism, was well explained and so plausible.I thought some minor tweaks could push the writing to a whole new level:First: Adverbs! Why use them so much? Like a Dyan, a hellspawn blood Vampire, adverbs suck the power of dialogue. Strength lies in understatement. Especially with Adri.And at times, while interacting with high nasty beings, characters slip into slangs— ‘guys', etc. Doesn’t gel. At least for me. These are powerful ancient beings-- some respect is in order.As I said, minor quibbles. Nothing major. Nothing like what we'd suggest to Messers Chetan Bhagat and Ashwini SinghiI clap once again. Great effort, and I look fwd to the next part.

Kya gobar kitab hain ye!!!??? Very misleading title and has nothing to do with Indian Tantrics... Will leave you feeling drowsy..

I am at a loss of words to describe as to what this book has packed inside its pages. From causally picking it up and eyeing the cover and the pages, to buying this book for my Kindle, to taking a dive into the world of Adri Sen, it has all been MAGICAL. It would not be a tall claim to preach that this is perhaps one of the finest works of fiction that I have read till date( and I have read quite a bit ). Thank you Mr. Bhattacharya for gifting us this brilliant adventure.P.S: I'm reviewing this after reviewing the second book in the series, The Horsemen Of Old. I was so engrossed in reading, that it slipped my mind that this masterpiece needs to be reviewed as well!
