Book Review 109: Moon Child by Rushali Mukherjee



A collection of a hundred short poems - Rushali Mukherjee's Moon Child is a simple, yet wonderful read. Poignant and powerful, each one of the poems is soul-stirring. 

The author has brilliantly described a host of feelings and emotions through her poems. The poems reflect a myriad of themes - ranging from love, loss, yearning, to nature and so much more. In her book, not only has the author given words to the diverse emotions, she has wonderfully portrayed them through her sketches as well. The hand-drawn sketches that accompany each of the poems are aesthetic and exceptionally beautiful. 

Moon Child is the first book that I've completed reading in 2021. And I am so glad that I picked this beautiful book as the first read of this year. Written in simple and lucid language, this book is a very easy read. It took me just a few hours to complete reading this book. And I thoroughly loved reading it.

Overall, Moon Child by Rushali Mukherjee is a lovely read, that I absolutely enjoyed reading. I definitely recommend this book to all!

Book Review 54: Satyayoddha Kalki by Kevin Missal.

Image
Satyayoddha Kalki: Eye of Brahma is the second book of the Kalki Series by Kevin Missal. The first book Dharmayoddha Kalki was quite interesting. The second part is no less than the first one. It's equally good. After I completed the first book, I was very eager to read the second book of the series. After the events that took place in the first book, this book begins with the events that follow. The book begins with the third part - The Coup at Indragarh. (The first two parts - The Battle of Shambhala and The Rise of Kali has been covered in the previous book). To make it easier for the readers, the author has provided with a brief synopsis of the first book at the beginning. The book begins with Kalki's escape from the execution and his journey to meet Bhargav Ram at Mahendragiri. Padma and Kripa accompany him on his journey. On his way, he faces various adversities. There are many subplots intertwined with the main plot. As the story progresses, it becomes more inter
