This part was better than first part, author tried to explain so many ancient things that it become little longer but for new people it would be knowledgeable. Apart from that speed of plot of better in this one.

Still insanely captivated by the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is truly a perfect blend of mythology and fiction. I love how it explores mysterious locations and the whole travelling through the story theme is amazing. It's got a really good cliffhanger ending as well. Totally looking forward to the climax novel!!

Better than part-1 which the author really uses the space which he totally missed in part-1.
In part -2 the author will take you to the real story. After reading part-2 confirmed that the author depends on the reels instead of researching the Hindu mythology. I seen lot of deviations happening in story between with science and magical power. But very poor narration. There are no chapter splits or spaces between locations and characters while the narration is ongoing. The plot moves from one location to another set of characters involved on the same page – paragraph to paragraph. The sudden movement to different locations and characters in the very next paragraph actually breaks the narrative.

The Hidden Hindu is a trilogy written by Akshat Gupta. This is the trilogy series with which Akshat Gupta has made his debut. This 2nd book of the series is far better than the first book of the series. The way of writing and structure of storytelling feels very engaging and overwhelming.

There was not much context given In the first book of the series and their character development was also not good. But it can be seen that Akshat Gupta has improved his writing in all aspects as this book feels more exciting and connected than the previous one. It’s because of the excellent character development and focus on small details.

The Journey of Om Shastri continues in this book, and Prithivi starts revealing more secrets to Mrs Batra. The past of Parimal and LSD was also shown in this book. And I can tell all the readers that some shocking twists and revelations are waiting for you guys to read.

There were a lot of questions that remained unanswered even in this book. And I also witnessed some loopholes in the story. But I will not judge this book for these loopholes as those can be answered in the 3rd part of the book.

### Attractive points:

- Attention To Detail: The author really explained every look mark and position very perfectly. The attention to detail, whether for a character or a situation, makes this book an amazing read.
- Character Development: This was one of the negative aspects of the first book which has become a positive aspect of the 2nd book. This book takes its own pace and time to explain the majority of the stories behind all the characters.
- Building Suspense: Every chapter is engaging. There are different events happening in different chapters and each chapter brings a new set of questions and twists. This makes the suspense of the book heated the whole time.
- Narrating Way: The way of narration in this book is different than its first book. As Prithivi narrates the incidents to Mrs. Batra in a conversational manner. Which gives a very unique touch to this book.

RATING: 5/5
Hands down, this book deserves 5 stars. It contains all the elements that a reader needs to get entertained and educated by reading a book. I loved this book and recommend you guys to read this series. This series will shock you, educated you about Indian history and Hindu Phylosophies, and will entertain you with its action. I hope you liked my review of this book.
