Book Review of The Legend of Triquetra by Tara Rewa – A Young Adult Book Offering A Fresh Take on Hindu Mythology
Amazon
Hindu mythology is a treasure trove of ideas, plotlines, and engaging tales for readers and writers. However, only a handful of authors have displayed the ability to use this enormous resource to their benefit and create impressive stories.
It might also be because interweaving mythology in stories set in modern times convincingly is not everyone’s cup of tea. But Tara Rewa is one of the few authors who has taken up this challenge, as is evident in her latest book, The Legend of Triquetra.
Premise: The Legend of Triquetra
Adi, a timid fifteen-year-old boy, is bullied at school and oppressed at home. Adi also has a secret; he can take the form of a snake, which makes him feel cursed. Fed up, he decides to run away from home. But before that can happen, Adi stumps upon a literal magic carpet that takes him into the realm of Wantra. Here, he meets other people like himself, new friends, and powerful enemies. He also learns about his impressive lineage and an ancient prophecy related to his clan. Meanwhile, the dark God Rahu is gaining power and intends to destroy the world. If Adi is the Naga heir, destined to save the world remains to be seen!
Character Development: The Legend of Triquetra
Tara has done a great job of realistic development of various characters in the book. Her presentation of Adi’s character as someone struggling with different emotions is praiseworthy. Her manner of making each character seem real and relatable impressed me greatly.
Writing Style: The Legend of Triquetra
Tara’s writing style reflects her competence as a writer. Even though her book targets young adults, readers of all ages find it engaging. Her use of simple words and phrases elevates the book’s readability significantly.
Final Verdict: The Legend of Triquetra
The Legend of Triquetra is an attempt to familiarize young adults with the myths of Hinduism in a thrilling manner. I give it a rating of 4.0 / 5.0.
