Bala by Ravi Kumar is a work of fiction with the meld of thriller, science fiction, and mythology subgenres.
The book features a practical man Balachandra Swamy (Bala), interested in Hindu mythology and aspires to become a space scientist and join World Aeronautics Space Agency -WASA, USA. He worked hard and achieved his dream. One day a twist in his life brings him back to India. And here, he encounters a strange connection between science and Hindu mythology.
Ravi Kumar has a captivating writing style, drawing readers into the minds of the characters and taking them to exciting places. Somewhere I feel the read a bit stretchy with a slow pace. Apart from this, I can't deny the phenomenal and developed characters, which makes the book engaging. This is the first part of the book series, looking forward to the next installment of the read.
