What do I say about this. I enjoyed it immensely.The scale of this book is huge and there are so many interesting characters and they are all fleshed out.The writer made sure that we know about each one,there motivations,there role before they are introduced.The main character "PONNIYIN SELVAN" is not even in the first part but you still know of him,his greatness,his valor.This blew my mind and it is only Part 1 of 5!!!
