I liked reading Empire of Wisdom Vidyagyan! Felt really engaging! It was a medium paced book but once started I knew I had to know what is gonna happen next! 🫣
So, it is set in the flourishing Kingdom of Vidyagyan- a fictional mythical kingdom of Indian India. The protagonists- Vishnu and Hari, are two brilliant minds, who were orphans but taught to survive by Mahaguru.
Their mind bending strategies have safeguarded their land time and again. However, a new threat emerges when the King reveals an impending attack on Vidyagyan, a sacred university of unparalleled knowledge.
Their nemesis, an enemy of immense power with a crooked mindset- Maharaj Kruraraj, commands a fearsome army of gaints and harbors a personal vendetta that is the vengeance for his father's death.
Vidyagyan, home to priceless books (books whose knowledge can shoft the balance of the world) where scolars impart valuable knowledge becomes their target. Though Kruraraj has a vicious purpose, his advisor an attractive but cursed woman is behind it for her own agenda. There's more twists! Hari and Vishnu are now on a dangerous quest to outsmart them. But will they succeed? Readers, I will share spoilers.
This story reminded me of how invaders from the west and north destroyed ancient Indian universities, robbing us of life-changing knowledge.
Thus its a smooth blend of mythology, sci-fi, fantasy, action, and history.
Some insights worth remembering:
-True knowledge never dies; it transforms and waits to be rediscovered.
-Knowledge and power are deeply intertwined—power can create or destroy.
-God resides within us; nature reminds us of His presence beyond symbols.
- Sound and frequency can profoundly impact our psychological state.
I loved Mahaguru's imaginative temple creations! The floral carvings, each preserving life’s essence, were awe-inspiring.
The author has developed characters and settings, giving everyone a meaningful role. Though the story could have been shorter with fewer characters or less war detail, the twists kept it engaging. His bright literary future is evident, and the second book in this series is out! Don't miss!
