23 reviews for The Immortal King Rao: A Novel

  1. Abhijeet Bera

    A mixed bag. The ambition is admirable, but the execution falters. Interesting ideas, but the story meanders and lacks focus.

  2. Devanshu Singh Negi

    Amazing book, must read! The author created a really intriguing world where technology meets social commentary. It was really creative!

  3. Vikash Bohra

    The exploration of power dynamics, family relationships, and climate change was thought-provoking. It’s a book that stays with you long after you finish reading.

  4. Nandini Rathi

    A powerful story about power and family, but at times preachy. The climate change themes were well done and it was a unique perspective of Dalit history.

  5. Ankit

    An interesting premise, but the execution felt a bit clunky. The world-building was strong, but the characters could have been more developed. Overall, a decent read.

  6. Manish Chauhan

    I was captivated by the blend of Indian history, technology, and climate change. While the plot got dense at times, the themes resonated deeply. A worthy read!

  7. Bhaumik Sachdeva

    I loved the creative blending of tech and historical elements. It made for a compelling read, though some parts were confusing at first, but it was resolved.

  8. Dipti Yadav

    The book had some moments that really shined, especially regarding the climate themes. However, at times, the plot felt slow and hard to keep track of.

  9. Sakshi Garg

    Vara’s novel offers a unique blend of technology, history, and social commentary. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of power, family, and the future of humanity.

  10. Swati Pangti

    The book had too many ideas and not enough focus. The writing was good, but the story was too ambitious. It’s not a book for casual readers.

  11. Utkarsh Chauhan

    While the characters were compelling, I felt that the plot lacked direction. There were too many ideas, and they weren’t fully explored. Overall, a decent read.

  12. Yashika Khandait

    The story had a lot of potential, but it lost me in the details. The beginning was slow, and the ending was too fast-paced.

  13. Somveer

    Engaging and creative! The concepts were great, the writing style was unique, and the story kept me thinking about the consequences of unchecked power.

  14. Pulkit Bansal

    A bit uneven, but the ambition and scope are impressive. Vara tackles big themes with creativity, even if the execution isn’t always perfect. Worth checking out!

  15. Karan Khurana

    The novel started strong but lost its way in the middle. I loved the setting, and the characters were interesting, but the plot became convoluted. Overall, okay read.

  16. Vaishnavi

    Vauhini Vara’s novel is thought-provoking, if a bit uneven. King Rao’s story is compelling, and Athena’s struggle is relatable. However, the pacing could have been improved.

  17. Maheshwari Rawat

    I appreciated the author’s unique voice and perspective. The themes are relevant and the characters are complex. I recommend this book to those seeking intellectual stimulation.

  18. Vishwas Paliwal

    This novel is a complex and ambitious exploration of power, technology, and family. The author blends genres and timelines, which may not work for all readers.

  19. Khushi Goyal

    Good ideas, but hard to follow at times. Interesting perspective on tech and the climate, but could have been streamlined. There are still some good concepts.

  20. Amir Shahasad K.c

    I was fascinated by the portrayal of King Rao and his vision. It offered a fresh perspective on the impact of technology on human lives and the environment.

  21. Ankit Singh

    A unique blend of historical fiction and sci-fi, with compelling characters and a timely message. The writing style takes time to get used to, but worth it.

  22. Anuj Ghai

    This book is really good. The concept of a corporate-run world is really great and the social commentary is really well done. It is worth the read.

  23. Aman Singh Deo

    This book is a challenging read, but ultimately rewarding. It left me pondering the implications of technological advancements and their effect on our planet.
