3.3 Stars

The Vault of Vishnu is a combination of history, myth, politics, crime, and some science. The blurb shows that the story would progress in dual timelines, if not more. Everything about it sounded fantastic.
The division of chapters and scenes was done well. Keeping track of the events was no issue. But the information dump about every character was annoying, and it messed up my reading pace.
Coming to the ‘thriller’ part, it fell flat. The details about the secret services and hubs were enjoyable, no doubt. But the pacing was wrong. When we really look at it, Pam did very little. She was more of a catalyst while others took the scene into their hands. If that was the author’s intention, then no complaints.
Overall, the book is okayish. It's a one-time read for me.
