Jai and I posed with the building in the first photograph serving as a background, which Chandrahas (second photo) took the photo. I bought comfortable […]

(No spoilers, so don’t worry)Strangely enough, the successes of The Manticore’s Secret by Samit Basu stem from its failures.
In the Book Three (the first half of the book) we are introduced to several new characters who will undoubtedly play an important part in this book or the next. As in The Simoqin Prophecies, their introduction […]

Book Review: The Simoqin Prophecies
