Read the book to know!

My take:

“Aqson – level 1” by Sreejib is an urban fantasy with a mix of a political thriller. The author had woven such a unique yet intricate plot with utmost excellence.

I usually don’t prefer fantasy to read as I always found it harder to imagine the scenes, but the vivid descriptions in this book make it way easier to visualise the characters.

I was thrilled by the entry of Lucifer and later on by Karna as well as Job. I should say that the character development was at its best. Each and every character portrayed in this book is so real that we could easily connect with.

There are a lot and lots of humour-filled in this book and for his hilarious nature, I became a fan of Niyol (ollie). You will enjoy his comical side throughout the book. Though I doubt the practical possibilities of ME (Materializing Education), I really liked the concept.

The language is simple and very easy to understand. However, the book has one con. I found the narration often switch over from the first person to third person narrative and that too in the same chapter.

It was very much confusing at the initial stage that it made me go back to the previous chapter to make sure who was narrating. It would have been better if the author had added the name of the narrator at the top of the chapter. Apart from that, it’s a great read! UNPUTDOWNABLE!! I’m eagerly waiting for “Aqson – level 2”

My rating: 4/5
