Review Time - Inkredia by Sarang Mahajan
INKREDIA (Luwan of Brida)
Sarang Mahajan
Well, you are
aware that am not really a reader of Adventure and Fantasies, but Man, this
book has got into my nerves so much that at one point I badly have wanted to get
inside the story, take a sword and fight against the evils. And that’s how a
good book must make you feel like, right? All this is about the novel ‘INKREDIA’
from the author Sarang Mahajan.
When observed from
the surface, the storyline simply goes like this:
Luwan of Brida,
the protagonist, denies to pay the tax and the King sets the Ghork riders (Yes,
you heard me right) to chase Luwan. Luwan and Meg (his sister) escapes Brida
and with the help of Kiliarn he reaches City.
Is the plot really
that simple???? Nooooooo!!
Though the story
of Luwan starts with a mere brave act (mere, when compared to the rest of the
happenings that follows). When you dig deep, you will find certain secrets
unfolding. The Red Book, Pendant, a letter from his dead father plays a major
role in attracting all the dangers scattered around Luwan and his sister, Meg.
With the magical ‘Red
Book’ as his guide and completely having trust on it, Luwan takes further steps
ahead. Kiliarn is the one character that plays equal role to that of Luwan in
the story. He helps them fight against the Ghork Riders, Snowman and the other
dark evils that are set to kill Luwan. It remains a mystery, ‘Why Luwan is
actually chased’ all through the story. Not to forget the horses ‘Snow and
Blaze’ owned by Kiliarn; you will once wish to have owned such extraordinary
horses for yourself.
Once in Tashkrum,
the City, we will get answers for certain questions such as ‘Who is Kiliarn?
Why does he put his own life at risk to save Luwan and Meg? Will Luwan meet
Shenoble?’ The story climaxes with that, connecting the prologue and all the
loose threads of the tale.
We will come
across so many new terms, but we will get to know about it through the words of
Kiliarn. The cover page bears the picture of the pendant which I believe, has a
lot to say in the upcoming parts, when compared to this.
The characters
have got its own justifications. Luwan, unknowingly bears a huge responsibility
and wonders on knowing about his own strength towards the end. Meg, stands for
her brother despite of all the dangers; Narjo, a true friend who loses his
life; though Luwan takes the guilt, he overcomes it with time. Kiliarn’ a friend, in this journey. (you will
know what I mean once when you read to the end)
The thrilling, adventurous
and dangerous journey of Luwan and Meg from Brida to Tashkrum is narrated in an
interesting manner with the help of the supernatural elements. The imagination
of the author shows his brilliance, because you can spot no flaw in the flow of
the story. Waiting for the next part.
