Demons of Time: Race to the Seventh Sunset
by Varun Sayal
My Rating : 4
Mythological events and elements combined together with time travel and robotic technology? I could not say no to reading this book and I am glad !
.
Thankyou Varun Sayal (Author) for providing me with a copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book follows the concept of time demons who can travel through time with their consciousness ( Basically jump time and go anywhere through black holes. The body stays back and only the mind travels. ). And our main character Tej has a tangled past with the two time demons, and how the actions of all of them affects the other in both past and the future.
.
First, I should say the research that has gone into writing this book is immense. From the ancient names of all the process, people, references to the future, everything was connected quite well, and I really enjoyed the process of finding out what we are dealing with along with our main character Tej. The second was the simple language. It was easy to grasp, and the information was not too much to digest. If you are introduced to a new concept, it is then followed by a conversation with present day equivalent of what we are learning, and that made it easier to understand. And that ending! I definitely did not expect one of the ending twists and it added more depth to the whole story. Every action has it's reaction.
.
With that being said, I would have loved to know more about the characterization of the people introduced. We know the concept of time demons, the main characters, and the ones who are around, but their personalities were not defined much. I think that made it more difficult to sympathize with the characters and probably reduced the effect every choice would have made while I am reading the book. It's a short book, so the amount of facts given to us was a little overwhelming considering the amount of scenes. The language is simple and conversational, but I felt it didn't have the flow of writing and felt clipped. It does not affect the reading in any way.. But I would have enjoyed it even more if that has been done. Also not to forget the fact that the references made were quite funny, and I really like how the character Tej has been portrayed. He is funny, and has a sense of loyalty and righteousness, which enhances the plot a bit more.
.
Overall, I really enjoyed the concept of combining ancient lifestyle with the modern times and time travelling through years. I am really looking forward to the next book in this series! If you had read Time Crawlers, the author's first book, you can see an immense amount of improvement in his writing style and the structure of the story. Definitely pick this book up if you are a fan of sci-fi/ mythology combination, I don't think you would be disappointed!
