Book Blurb:

Two kingdoms, Chaturanga and Sarprakt, separated by a mystic mountain range are at war with each other since ages. Chaturanga, ruled by King Viratha, is soon bestowed with a dynamic heir, and the whole kingdom is drowned in rituals and festivity. On the other side, Sarprakt is executing a cruel conspiracy. King Viratha, crippled by the conspiracy, urges the mysterious man of the mountain to devise a method to recreate the conspiracy and that gave birth to 'The Game of Chess'.

Serial killings shock the nation as the police are rendered clueless. The killer leaves behind a trail of chess pieces with a strange message. Random people are murdered. Connoisseurs of different fields - History, Chess and the Security forces - have united as the next intended victim is the most powerful person of the country. How is Chess involved in the whole scenario? How will they find a man who died 4000 years ago? Can a person defy the laws of nature? Does history really repeat itself? Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

My Review:

Let the review begin. 

Being an ardent lover of Love genre books, Thriller genre books generally fails to impress me, until and unless it has a story which would make me awestruck. Well this book, ‘Let The Game Begin’ by Sandeep Sharma impressed me till the very last page. Kudos to the Author for keeping the reader hooked till the very last page, the suspense gets revealed only in the last few pages. Oh! Wait, the book ended after 180 pages but the story didn’t. There has to be a sequel to this book and after reading this book, I won’t mind buying the next book. 

Well the book blurb says a lot about the story. It begins with the mystery of Lambasa Parvata and the cave of ‘Mrityunjay’ and rivalry between two kingdoms; Chaturanga and Sarprakt. The Author has pretty well narrated the present scenario, keeping in mind the happenings of past i.e. 4000 years ago. The way author has narrated the incidents of the past linking it with the happenings of present is commendable. A reader won’t get bore and would be always be curious to know how the story will end. Great Narration skills!

The Author has pretty well researched about the History of Chess, DNA and Reincarnation. Explaining everything in detail doesn’t leave a reader confused. Sandeep has used a simple language which makes this book an easy read, the suspense and the thrill contents makes this book a good read for those who love reading Thriller genre books.

Likings: Easy and Simple Language, Full of Thrills and Suspense, Page Turner

Disliking: Ending was good but many things went unanswered, A Sequel is much needed.

My Ratings: 4/5

(Want to rate it 5 star, but only after I get to read the second book)

My Review:

UNNS, it took me quite long to guess what the title really means. It is only after the 100th page of the book when I found the real meaning of the word, UNNS. Like the title, the heading of the chapters made me confused too. The 100th page of the book cleared all my confusions. 

Before I begin my review, let me divide the book into 3 parts:

1. Teenage Love

2. Mission Munich

3. Mission Belmont

The first part narrates the love between  Atharva Rathod and Meher Qasim. Like many other books that I have read, this book also has a same kind of love story. Oh! well it wasn't love but a mere infatuation, I guess. Author made the protagonists fall in love with each other quite easily. That never happen in real life, does it? 

Using a simple easy language the author has built some Love in the Air. And what I didn’t like is the editing part. The Author or may be the Editor hasn’t put an end mark when a scene ends. Sometimes it will make the reader confused. 

The Second part, Mission Munich is a pleasure to read, only if I hadn’t watch the Salman Khan starrer movie. I won’t say the movie name or else you can easily guess the plot line used. Let the suspense be intact. So if you have watched that movie then you no need to read this phase of the book ‘coz it would be easier to know how the mission will end. I skipped a few pages. 

Now let me come to the third part, just like the second part here the protagonist Atharva is in another mission. But unlike the previous mission, this mission was something new to read. And definitely a reader will enjoy it. 

A double unexpected ending is what makes this book an enjoyable read. Had it not been the ending I would have rated this quite poorly but a double climax at the end was something which I had never thought. Kudos to the Author’s brain. 

Likings: Easy Read, Page Turner, Double Climax at the End, Love and Hate chemistry between the Protagonists

Disliking: No End Marks at the end of the scenes, some parts were inspired by a Bollywood movie.

My Ratings: 3/5

(Just an extra point for the ending)
