Circe - The Ride through Gods(Book Review)

Madeline Miller, the author of Circe, takes us on an amazing ride through the world of Greek GODS. Looking through the eyes of the main character "Circe" who is a goddess, she portrays even GODS are not black and white but grey. Her writing helps us to empathize with the character and the justification for her actions is connected to the reader. The story is about the Goddess Circe who gets into trouble in her childhood itself and gets exiled to an uninhabited island. Since she is immortal the exile seems like a prison for eternity. But Circe realizes her potential and her ambitions. The island in itself becomes "home" for her. The writer takes the character through a lot of situations and twists which will make readers grip their seats throughout. The only drawback I found was that too many characters come and go which makes it difficult for us to keep track at times. Even though the protagonist is a Goddess, Miller touches the mortal sides of this immortal being and sometimes it feels like one of us too. Worth a read.

Netflix's biggest stranger things ever - Season 4 Part 2 Review

Image
Things keep getting bigger, and better. We almost feels like this is going to end and then whoaa.. Things change as it had never been. Season Part 2 is more emotional, more action and what not. Eddie and gang stole the part 2 almost with their daring adventure plan to kill Vecna and that was the best part of season 2. With too many emotional scenes to flow, Duffle brothers did not allow audience to lose track of the bigger picture. The growth of stranger things almost amuses everyone, and definitely it is now one of the favourite TV series of most. Outside a little confusion with Dr Brenner and Nina Project, everything was too good. Visual Effects, Background music and the acting were top notch from most actors. And with the most freaking metal concert of upside world, Eddie played his superhero role as well. With Season 5 on the line, fans cant keep calm for sure Rating: 4/5

Author Srinivas Reddy captures the prolific life of King Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagara briefly but without dropping anything that astonishing. he covers the life of this 16th Century King who rules the majority of Deccan. The present-day Hampi and associated regions which was once a prosperous kingdom under Krishnaraya come to life in this biographical piece. Srinivas Reddy easily brings the kingdom into our imagination with grace and details. He clears the myopia of religion, caste and all underlying problems that are faced by the country now were not a problem back then. The association of Muslim rulers of Deccan with Hindu king Raya to defeat Adil Shah is an example of that. The narrative is filled with such details that will enlighten anyone reading it, opening eyes to the 16tyh century Deccan. Worth a read. Rating: 4/5

That was some List-The Terminal List(Series Review)

Image
Chris Pratt, coming as producer and actor in this latest military, action flick, that was some news and boy, Terminal List is lit as anything. The narrative, direction, cinematography was exquisite. the story itself goes through twists and turns that takes the audience to have a gasp twice every episode. The fact that they did not lag the couple of episodes was quite remarkable(Some series extends to another season as well). This is a series you definitely don't want to miss if you are a fan of thriller action genre. Chris Pratt does a fantastic job in his role so as other actors. Great appreciation should go to action and stunt choreographers, those were insane. Rating: 4/5
