The plot is centered around a\u00a0pot that is stolen from the National Museum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The book starts with a man killing his wife in a moment of anger. Right after this, we are bombarded with crime scenes one after the other. In the middle of these, we are introduced to our hero ACP Aryan.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I liked how the book begins. It sets the mood for an action-packed book. One of the first things I noticed is the excellent writing. It was absolutely perfect and something you wouldn&#8217;t expect from the debut novel of an author. The dialogue\u00a0was also very well written and it fit well with the book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">At first, I thought this book was just a crime thriller and I couldn&#8217;t see how the mythology would fit into it. The plot\u00a0kept on getting more and more complex. It goes back and forth between various perspectives. There were unexpected events at every turn and it seemed like an endless race. It\u00a0is also very unpredictable.\u00a0I \u00a0liked the clues that were given in the form of poems. They made the plot even more interesting and added a touch of drama. Even with so many things happening, it never got difficult to understand what was going on. There were different strings of the story that all lead back to one place. The pace of the book wasn&#8217;t extremely fast like one would expect from a thriller. Because of this, I could take my time enjoying the book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I liked Aryan right from the beginning. He was brave, sarcastic, clever and dedicated. He had a great sense of humor. We also see him struggling with his personal life. It adds a more personal touch to his character and makes us feel more attached to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The Indian mythology plays a huge part in the book. I was surprised to see a bit of Irish mythology as well. I really liked the concept of explaining ancient myths with today&#8217;s logic and technology. Even though the mythology was explained\u00a0in a simple way, it w<br \/>\nas still hard for me to keep up with it. At times, I found myself just reading it and not really understanding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The book is literally a race where the sole aim of the characters was the pot while they were also struggling with their own lives. There were a number of villains in the book and it would be so frustrating whenever one of them would get away. I honestly though they were a bunch of lunatics seeking revenge for nothing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Neelabh Pratap Singh is indeed a great storyteller. The book\u00a0isn&#8217;t like one of those crime thrillers that are highly intense and I liked it that way. The ending was a great\u00a0unexpected twist. There were surprising revelations happening right till the very last pages. The author created a brilliant plot. I liked how the mythology plays a huge part in the book but ultimately it is the reality that matters. I was glad to see their were no loose strings left. I also liked how it ended\u00a0emotionally for the characters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I highly enjoyed\u00a0this book. I recommend it to people who like well-paced mysteries that will take them for a ride and also to fans of Indian mythology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add this book on Goodreads Buy this book on Amazon Genre: Mythological Thriller My Rating: 4.5 stars I received this book from the author in exchange for an\u00a0honest review The Resurrection Of Evil by Neelabh Pratap Singh is a mythological&hellip;<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/01\/28\/book-review-the-resurrection-of-evil-by-neelabh-pratap-singh\/#more-4282\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Book Review: The Resurrection Of Evil by Neelabh Pratap Singh<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,91,98,99,139,180,187,228,234,235,318,376,458,463],"class_list":["post-4282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-book-review","tag-bookish","tag-bookreview","tag-books","tag-crime-thriller","tag-fantasy","tag-fiction","tag-indian-book","tag-indian-literture","tag-indian-mythology","tag-mythology","tag-reading","tag-the-resurrection-of-evil","tag-thriller"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4559,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/04\/books-i-read-in-january-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":4282,"position":0},"title":"January 2017 Reads","date":"February 4, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Hello everyone!
