The Legend Of Bahirji Naik By Shreyas Bhave Book Review 



The Legend of Bahirji Nayak by Shreyas Bhave is a historical fiction novel and this story focuses on the pivotal role played by Chhatrapati Shivaji in restoring the dwindling treasury of their Swarajit 

So a brilliant spy is supposed to be invisible and anonymous and this story focuses on two spies Bahirji Bundle and Sadashiv Nayak and their apprentice Shashi Dhaj which is why it's a unique story to read because it talks about how important spies are in an empire's success 

So basically the plot of the story is that Bahirji and Sadashiv along with Shashi Dhaj have to find out about different ways to sack the city of Surat which is a prosperous city so that they can fill up the treasuries of their Swaraj and how they go about doing it is the main premise of the story 

This is one of those stories that has a lot of characters and a lot of stakeholders as the Marathas the Mughals and the English all have stakes in the city of Surat which is thriving and prosperous and there are many subplots and characters in the story

It's a very well-structured book because right at the beginning of this book the author provides a full chapter where he talks about how he has taken creative liberties with what actually transpired 

The author has provided the facts as well as his own thought process at the beginning of the book and there is a list of characters as well that has been provided so the first thing that you immediately notice while reading this story is the attention to detail be 

It in terms of the characters be it in terms of different scenes in the story everything goes together very well and everything fits perfectly there is nothing abrupt about how the characters behave or how the story moves forward it is also seamless which is something

I loved not even once did my flow break while reading this story and the characters in the story are quite well fleshed out because the main characters of this story are Bahirji Bundle Sadashiv Nayak and Shashidh and they have ample space in the story 

This is obvious but there are so many other characters who are also given proper roles in the story and none of those characters seem half-baked For example there is Shamsher Ali's character 

There is Veerji Vora's character and there are many others whose emotions and thought processes are talked about in the story in a way that even though they are not the main characters they add and contribute to the story in an important way 

Well which is why the entire experience of reading this book feels very very complete when this story begins Bahirji Bundle and Sadashiv Nayak are already seasoned spies and they are very good at what they do but Shashi Dhaj is a beginner and is an apprentice 

So together with him as readers we undertake a journey where he stumbles gets up again matures and has a lot of character development that we get to read about in the story together 

It feels very wholesome because being a spy seems like a very exciting thing to do but it has huge and grave consequences because it is a job that demands a lot from the person who does it so this story has suspense and a thrill element 

Which is present for a good part of the story and the way the suspense unfolded was decently good to me I did what many readers do I tried to suspect different characters I tried to formulate my own theories 

But what happened was something that was unexpected for the most part although I will admit that the suspense and the thrill element of the story was really not the highlight 

At least there were other things that I was more focused on as a reader that I have already talked about, This story really had a lot going on in it Also the pace of the story was decent to good as I said in the beginning that the story flows very seamlessly 

So my flow did not break even once I really enjoyed the writing in the story the writing and the language in this book contributed very positively to the overall effectiveness of the story 

So if you are looking to read a great historical fiction novel that you will enjoy reading then The Legend of Bahirji Nayak by Shrees Bhave is a book that I definitely recommend you pick up.

Ghosts of The Silent Hills by Anita Krishan Book Review

  Ghosts of The Silent Hills by Anita Krishan Book Review  Anita Krishan's "Ghosts of The Silent Hills" has successfully reignited my passion for horror fiction, and after a long hiatus, this collection of short stories has left me craving more from the genre. The book, reminiscent of the eerie atmosphere portrayed in the Bollywood movie 'Stree,' proved to be an enthralling and spine-chilling experience that had me hooked from start to finish. The collection revolves around haunting tales of dissatisfied souls, each narrating a ghostly story that serves as a mirror reflecting the flaws within our society and humanity. From the eerie silence to the misty air, the screeches and screams, and the blood-curdling horror, every element in these stories contributed to an extraordinary and unforgettable reading experience. Krishan's writing effortlessly captures the creepiness and fear that permeate each narrative. The vivid descriptions transport the reader into a wor...

Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas Book Review

    Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas Book Review  Lost in the Neverwoods by Aiden Thomas. This is the second book by Aiden Thomas that I think is out ever. They previously wrote "Cemetery Boys," which came out last year, and I absolutely love that book. So I was so, so looking forward to seeing the next book that they wrote, even though it is a Peter Pan retelling. I feel like Peter Pan retellings—I haven't read a bunch of them, but I just know there are so many that sometimes it's hard. There are definitely good ones and there are definitely ways to make it feel different, but I was just kind of worried that, like, "Oh no, this is just going to be another Peter Pan retelling that falls flat." But happy to report that it was really, really good. I originally thought it was a middle-grade book for some reason. I think just because it came out so quickly after Cemetery Boys. I feel like usually there's like a year gap between books coming out by an ...

One Day Life Will Change by Saranya Umakanthan Book Review  The world is functioning normally as always. But we form our own perspective of this world based on our experiences. If a family member behaves a certain way, we assume that many people are like that. We tend to judge the ways of the world based on our past experiences. Especially when we have experienced a breakup or heartbreak we find it difficult to trust people. This book is all about how trusting people can change our lives. Saranya Umakanthan has written a book titled One Day, Life Will Change. We have already reviewed one of her books for our Book Show. This book is a National Best Seller. Our heroine is struck by a turbulent marriage. But breaking up the marriage is a big deal. Just like how we don't know what we want. we have never learnt to say No to things that we don't want right from our childhood. Just like how the mother feeds the kid more than he needs even if he says no. We tend to stay in a toxic rela...
