I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.The style that this novel was written in reminded me of old myths and legends. Removed from the characters but still involved enough in the plot that you care about what happens to them. The length was perfect and I appreciated that it was very succinct. I really enjoyed it. It was a great story about how one lowly born man manages to turn the world upside down. There are important life lessons"The Timingila" is an absolute disrupter of current trends in fantasy fiction. Although a fantasy book, it has no magic element in it. The story is inspired by ancient Indian culture, but it is not a retelling of Indian mythology. Compare to the narratve style fantasy novels, The Timingila is an extremely fast read. You can complete whole book in three to four hours. Its complex story line keeps you invested the whole time.The story takes place in the ancient land of Jivavarta. It is about
Historical Indian fantasy / fable with themes of breaking systems of caste, religion, politics and power. Sparse writing style with concise chapters and some profound insights, but could be a much more powerful story with some critical editing.I received an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley and Sheetal Mehata in exchange for an honest review.
I liked the premise of the story, but it was written very simply. The language used was quite basic, and I felt that there should have been more world building and character development.
A Breath Of Fresh Air.I just finished reading the ARC of "The Timingila", and am blown away by it.I love fantasy, but many fantasy books are too descriptive for my taste.This book is not a typical high fantasy, as there is no magic, and there are no magical creatures. Based in the ancient world of Jivavarta, the story narrates the journey of three underdogs towards greatness; a fallen kingdom, a nascent faith, and a fugitive prince. The crisp banter between the characters is delight to read. My
What attracted me to this book is its cover and tag line "Maybe I am a villain in your story, but I am a hero in mine". This is not a typical fantasy book, although it takes place in a fictional world named Jivavarta inspired by ancient India, there is no magic in this story. The young hero /villain character makes his way through a complex and realistically imagined world complete with different religions, social hierarchy, and surreal locations. As he struggles for survival he faces questions
