Reviews of Blood & Iron (Book 1 of Kurukshetra Chronicles Series)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The thing I loved most about the book is the interplay of emotions in the characters that the author brings out easily and seamlessly by choosing to switch POVs for each ‘chapter’. This allows him to cover a gamut of emotions and views with flamboyance without affecting the actual flow of the narrative.<\/p>\n– Bharati V<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Rarely do we find any book which devotes itself exclusively to war parvas of Mahabharata, other than the Mahabharata itself….. Overall, I endorse the recommendation of \u2018buy, read and gift\u2019 for this series.<\/p>\n – MCR Sesha<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Once you start is, there is no going back, I just couldn\u2019t put it down!  A true page turner and a boom start to the series! I just can\u2019t wait to read more from this one! I will highly recommend it, no matter what age group you are in, it\u2019s easy to go along and easy to read! <\/p>\n – Rutuja Ramteke<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

The author brilliantly talked about various battles from different warrior\u2019s perspective. It allowed him to dive into their minds and analyse their emotions or thought process in that point in time… A recommended read.<\/p>\n – Thinker View<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Reviews of Aryaa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Reviews of Unsung Valour<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Deepak M R\u2019s <\/em><\/a>glorious tribute to the Herculean feats of Bhagadatta aided and abetted by his majestic and mammoth pachyderm Supratika, send a chill down the reader’s spine. Easily one of the best chapters in the book, “Unsung Valour”<\/em>“<\/p>\n– <\/em>Venkataraman Ganesan<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Very <\/em>“well written. I am partial towards Bhagadatta. So I liked that the most. But that\u2019s my bias. <\/em>“<\/p>\n\u2013 Dr.Bibek Debroy<\/a><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Literally I have become an admirer of Bhagadatta, all thanks to the author who penned down the story of Bhagadatta and his famed mighty elephant ‘Supratika’! One should read directly that chapter to enjoy the goosebumps!<\/em>“<\/p>\n– <\/em>Santosh Kumar<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We again switch back to the Kaurava side to meet the grizzled elephant warrior, Bhagadatta. This is another story that manages to evoke the veera rasa in the reader.<\/em>“<\/p>\n– <\/em>Ratul Chakraborty<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Glorious and exemplary deeds of audacity Bhagadatta the son of Narakasura, the demon slayed by Krishna, by Mr. Deepak M.R make for some riveting reading.

\n

Completed reading Unsung Valour and learnt about the lesser known warriors of Mahabharata like Iravan and Bhagadatta. Brilliant use of imagery by the authors invoking a lot of interest in the readers. More such great stories from our history need to be told to the people<\/em><\/p>\n– Anirudh Goel<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

This book is not a collection of stories by amateur writers but of master storytellers. Great work has been put into each story and it is clearly visible. Various battles were beautifully narrated. Several characters both familiar and unfamiliar, titular and non titular, were beautifully penned down<\/em>.<\/p>\n– S V Krishna<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
