The King of the Sea by Nandan Gautam:


I am blank as the book is! I literally do not know what I should talk about the book as the book is itself about nothing but everything.

Have you ever thought beyond our lives? Why do we live? What is that after we get everything that we run after? What is there at the end? And a big WHY?!

This book is truth and not any illusion or just thoughts. I agree with what I think the author conveyed through the book because I think not everyone can interpret the book in the same way. It could be unique for every reader of this book. As said in the beginning of the book, it was entirely my choice and my own mind that constructed a story with the words put in by the author. It's a story but not a story as such.

The life of man is portrayed as a long and everlasting journey in a ship which doesn't know its destination. The crew in the ship keeps  travelling with a hope that they would see land/destination one day which is us who keep living with the hope that life would one day turn out as we wish. But there is this captain who leads the ship to nowhere knowing that there is no destination to reach but keeps motivating the crew. So this captain is the one, he may be the God or the supreme being that we all trust who only knows that life is all about sailing and that sailing has no destinations. He knows that all are the same.

It was a wonderful journey reading this book as it threw up ideas that I have never ever thought about. It gave me a kind of relaxation and lots of insights on life. There is this life that we must undergo no matter what but above all nothing is going to change how much ever we try. Because the life is destined and has to be lived. We have no choice.

So this book may sound spiritual and unrealistic but if you wish to read it then do not expect anything from the book. Open the book with blank mind and let your mind carve a new interpretation from the book. It would definitely be an unknown experience.

BOOK SERIES REVIEW

THE CURSEBREAKERS SERIES BY BRIGID KEMMERER Reading has always been an inevitable hobby since my childhood and being that way, fairy tales are always special. Who doesn't love escaping what we know as reality and living in a magical land with mysterious and interesting creatures, witches, characters that we dream about, superpowers and what not? The Cursebreakers series has one such fictional world called Emberfall with totally lovable characters. I binge read this series last month and have been trying to post a review which is finally happening. For people who haven't heard of this series, it is a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast. I am going to share my thoughts for each book separately so that I can let you know as much as possible of my entire reading journey. There are going to be spoilers but I've marked the start and end of spoilers below so that if you don't want to be spoiled, you can skip those parts. Let's get started! A Curse So Dark and Lonely: A C...
