The Girl With Blue Eyes is a romantic thriller written by Vaiibhav Nigam which revolves around three characters Armaan,Rutvi and Tanisha.

The story starts with Armaan and Tanisha’s relationship and after sometime Armaan meets an accident and then the girl with blue eyes enters his life and his life is totally changed

I like reading romantic thrillers but somehow this book didn’t meet my expectations. The mystery in the book was good but the writing could have been more mature and the book could have a better flow.

The characters were well developed and the story is medium paced. The narration lacked depth. The language is lucid.
The mystery in the climax was satisfactory.

Overall, it could have been a better reading experience.

Demons of Time is a science fiction book written by Varun Sayal is the first book in the Time Travelers Series

I read the author’s first book last year and I can confidently say his writing style has become better.

I usually don’t read Science Fiction but this book was intriguing and was able to grasp my interest within the first few pages.The cover is beautiful

The book is about Tej who was saved from the atrocities of Kumbh,a demon of time. After twenty years, Tej starts an adventure to recapture the demon as he only has seven days.

Divided into 20 chapters,this book is really engaging. The author’s writing is original and the way he combines science with mythology is appreciative.

The book is fast paced and the plot is well constructed and executed. The book is well detailed and the narration is clear. The base of the novel is very strong.

The climax is very impressive and justifies the story. This book is a perfect read for Science fiction lovers.

The book was quite enjoyable and is worth reading.

Where will Man Take Us written by Atul Jalan is a non-fiction book which explores nano technology ,artificial intelligence,quantum computing and genetics.

I enjoy reading Non-Fiction if it’s interesting and this book is really engrossing. The cover is bright and the title is very gripping.

The book is divided into 5 Parts
⭐The Drivers of Change
⭐The New Society
⭐The Magic of Math
⭐The End of Mystery
⭐The New Man

The book mainly talks about the technology man is creating and where it might lead us and about the effects of technology in our lives.The introductory chapter on Alan Turing was enough to grasp my interest.

The author says every time we invent technology,it reinvents us which is accurate.

The book is very well researched. He has put in a lot of efforts into the book.
The writing style is very engaging and vivid. The narration is very clear which gives a good base to the story.The plot is well paced. The quotes in the book are really vivid.

Name : Two Girls in Love
Author : Ankita Singh
Pages : 37
Genre : LGBT,Story in verses

Thanks to the author for the review copy

Two Girls In Love is written in the form of a diary with a poetic style about homosexuality.

It starts on the day when Indian Supreme Court legalised section 377. It talks about the feelings of a lesbian girl and what she thinks when she realizes that she is free to love anyone she wants irrespective of the gender but there is still a lot of change needed in the mindset of people.

This piece talks on such a sensitive issue in a very subtle way. It’s beautifully expressed in a unique style.

The writing style is very clear and the language is very simple and understandable. The book is written nicely.

The author has covered all the aspects like what the girl feels,the pressure of society and how she wants to tell the same to her parents.

I liked the book and it’s worth a read.
