Book Review: Manwaan : The Awakening by Abhishek Krishnan

In Abhishek Krishnan’s “Manwaan: The Awakening,” the fight between good and evil is given a mythological twist. The Underworld Clan of Asuras and Rakshasas, fallen angels, celestial warriors, and gods are all involved in the fight to decide the fate of humanity. This exciting fantasy book will take you to a world of ancient wars, strange creatures, and powerful forces from the heavens.

The novel follows the story of Rinad, a 26-year-old who, after the opening of the Gateway to Hell, finds himself in the middle of an age-old conflict between good and evil. Never in his wildest dreams did Rinad think he’d end up fighting in a legendary conflict between good and evil. But when he finds out that he is a Manwaan, a warrior who is half-human and half-celestial and was created by the Gods to fight the Underworld Clan, he realizes that he is a very important part of this battle.

One of the best things about the book is its intricate plot, which is full of twists and turns that keep the reader engaged and guessing. Krishnan has created a rich and interesting world full of fantastical beings, ancient battles, and heavenly powers, and he has skillfully woven all of these things into a story. The plot moves at breakneck speed and is filled with nonstop action. There is also a good deal of suspense and mystery in the story, which will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

“Manwaan: The Awakening” has a plot that is complicated and intricate, with many different threads and subplots that weave together to make a rich and satisfying story. The flow of the novel is also well done, with the story moving smoothly from one scene to the next without any awkward transitions or abrupt changes in direction. The characters are well thought-out and interesting. They all have their own fears, hopes, and goals, which move the story forward.

This makes the action and drama of the novel all the more intense and meaningful, as readers become invested in the fate of each character.

Rinad’s character is excellently developed over the course of the novel. At first, Rinad is a reluctant hero, unsure of his own abilities and afraid of the dangers that surround him. However, as he learns more about his true identity as a Manwaan, Rinad begins to find the strength and courage to face his fears and fight for what is right. One of the strengths of Rinad’s character is his relatability. Despite the supernatural elements of the story, Rinad’s struggles and insecurities are grounded in real-world experiences and emotions. This makes him a character that readers can easily identify with and root for.
