The Immortals Of Meluha Book Review
The Immortals of Meluha" is a phenomenal example of how a book with a great concept — I mean, just the time this is set in 1900 BC alone is enough to perk my ears up and go, "Most fantasy isn't set that long ago" — being absolutely destroyed by technical problems.
It's really a failure to launch. We have this big beautiful rocket on the launch pad that I'm excited to see soar to these heights, and it only gets like 300 feet in the air before exploding. It's just not delivering on what was promised.
Now, if you're a reader, though, who's not bothered by these more technical issues I talked about — weaker prose, you know, some telling not showing, a severe insistence on repetition — you could absolutely still enjoy this just on the premise.
It's executed well enough, and the ending could bother some but overall is satisfactory in that nature. So if you are a plot reader, you'll probably have your rating substantially higher than mine.
Fortunately, though, for me, this is going to remain at a 3.5 out of 10. I absolutely see golden nuggets; they are just so few and in between that I'm not going to really be recommending this to anybody.
I won't be picking up the sequel, and I will be trying again with another story to enter this type of fantasy in the future. And I do specifically want to end this review by asking my audience members to please go ahead and recommend if you're familiar with this type of fantasy, another place for me to try and get going with, you know, my taste in mind.
I guess it is a pie thing to ask for people who are just casually watching some guy's review online, but it remains. Anyway, guys, like and subscribe if you have not already, hit the Patreon if you'd like to support what I do here.
Have a good one, y'all. Peace. And of course, I'd like to record a special shout-out to my recent high-tier patrons Grey Hive and Jordan Bonnell. Thank you guys so, so much. Hope you're having a good one.
