Mythological fiction as a genre continues to gain favor among writers and with each work, it only appears better than the others. Writers like Vivek Kumar, Saurabh Thakur and others have worked on this genre and the works are marvelous. Equally commendable is the effort of Anand Kadakol in his book "iKrishna".
The book length for once does seem a challenge but for most Indian readers who have some idea or the other about Lord Krishna, this book only becomes an engaging read. The author researches well and writes about the lord right from his childhood to adulthood and reconnects all those stories which everyone may have heard now and then in bits and pieces. For in depth knowledge and understanding of the life of Lord Krishna, this book becomes a necessary read. It gives insightful information to the readers and all they need to know. At the same time, the plotline continues to develop the mahabharata story in the background which, when needed comes to the forefront. For all those who look for interesting mythological reads, this book serves the purpose.
