Book Blurb:
"You have to dethrone a powerful man to become the most powerful. I was itching to defeat the single most powerful person, but there wasn't any. I was left with only one choice — to create one."
Little does Ashwin Jamwal know that the last twenty-five years of his life have been controlled by a master manipulator, who wanted to make him the most powerful man on earth, though for a reason! Ashwin steps up to take oath as the youngest Prime Minister of India and is unknowingly thrown into a vortex of power and authority as the entire world is threatened by a faceless enemy — Hades.
The world starts to look up to Ashwin as the savior, but he was just a pawn, reared only to be sacrificed in the end.
A story of greed, lies, deceptions, manipulations and corruption, Ashvamedha is a thriller revolving around the infamous game of power in a maddening bid to seek absolute control.
My Review:
Being a fan of love genre books it feels a great pleasure when I get to read a good Thriller genre book. When you finish reading a book, either you get pissed off by the storyline or you start praising the way it is written. And definitely Ashvamedha falls in the latter category. With full of suspense and an unexpected ending this book deserves a place in your book shelf.
Ashwin Jamwal, the protagonist of the story is a man with ambition. He wanted to bring a change in the society. Recruited as a district collector he wanted to work for the welfare of the peoples. But as we know the system is quite corrupted and things don’t work as per our plans, Ashwin was being transferred to 4 different towns in a span of 2 years. And when he realized it isn’t going to work in a legal way, he decides to join Politics and it is then the whole story unfolds.
Apart from Ashwin, there are a lot of other characters in the story. I’m not that good in remembering all their names. While reading the book often I felt that the Author has used more characters than needed but a few pages later, I realized every character’s importance and their part in the story. Well, the review cannot be completed without introducing you all with Hades. Yes! He is one of the most important character of the story.
Who is Hades? What is his part in the story? Hades is none other than Arun (Ashwin’s best friend). Oops! I disclosed the suspense. Oh, wait! There is a twist at the end. It would be complete unfair if I disclose everything here. Hades is someone else but who? Well, you will get to know about everything once you pick up the book and start reading it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Likings: An Unexpected Ending, Simple Language, Easy Read, Page Turner, Worth your bucks.
Disliking: One time read, Can be used as an script by the directors of Bollywood.
My Rating: 4/5
