Book Review # 121 The Secret Of His Turquoise Eyes: Praachi Verma.

Blurb:

Rudra Gautam is a theoretical physicist whose mesmerizing turquoise eyes aren’t just his most impressive feature, but are gifted to visualize the world of electric and magnetic energies around them. He keeps his extraordinary capabilities hidden until his uniqueness is chosen to unravel an abstruse secret. The clues to which are hidden in strangest of places; the directions to which can be obtained only by solving complex codes, that only the most knowledgeable can figure out.

Rudra quickly realizes that he will need the help of Azna Jahe, a Glacial-Geography and Lhasa expert whom he once loved. Their quest takes them on a harrowing journey over the world’s most unforgiving elevations where their innermost fears comes to life. They skim through the layers of increasingly complex ciphers, all while being pursued by a para-human assassin who will stop at nothing to obtain that secret.
But it requires a lot more than just knowledge to unravel that secret; will Rudra be able to cross those barriers to solve it? If so, then will there be any coming back for him?
How far will he go until he realizes that the answer to it lays within him?

My Take:

The book explores a very different journey. Intelligent observations used to draw parallel with life and subconscious mind. A gripping story that stretches over 400 pages holds your attention throughout.The plot is water tight and the writing style simple. The author has made a great attempt to build another world.

Rudra Gautam has captivating turquoise eyes and has a very IQ. In a quest to find out his mission which is triggered by his recurring dreams he sets on a journey to the famous mountain terrain Annapruna. A chance meeting , a mysterious person gives him the powerful Sirius stone, he further ventures out and comes across a powerful book as well named Nibhrta. Now only  his ex girlfriend Azna who's also an Lhasa expert and glacial geography expert, now married is someone he can turn to for help.  As the book can only be decoded with certain conditions and languages they embark the adventurous journey to find answers .

But the hitch is that other than Rudra someone else is also in this race to attain power. Who is it? Will Rudra succeed? Read the book to find out.

The strength for me is no deviation from the plot. The story moves ahead strength to strength and the mystery just adds more power. .The romance angle is kept at a bare minimum and the plot has been given prime importance.

I would rate this 4.4/5 . Waiting and hoping the sequel keeps up to this standard.
