It is no easy joke to write a story chapter by chapter, week on week for 3.5 years to have a book that keeps you transfixed. When it is a historical fiction with real characters and fixed points recorded in history, it becomes a fascinating journey between 2 points! This book is a masterpiece by any standard you choose!

The past one month, it feels like I have lived in the chola period. In the first book, it took me sometime to get into the story but from there it has been a fantastic ride. At various points in the story, I have loved/hated the same characters, laughed with them, walked through deep dark forests, travelled to Srilanka, plotted with them, felt pity for characters I wanted dead from start, loved characters that I thought were inconsequential to the story. And what a story this is! Individual book...more

Wow! Some jaw dropping stuff happens... Although I was expecting something to happen, the way it played out caught me off guard. So much drama and action has peaked to a thrilling, heart-rending climax. Can't believe there's still another volume yet to read.

One of the best book I have ever read... Its really unbelievable how the author has maintained the suspense and intrigue for over 2000 pages.... Hats off to Kalki.. One of my friends told me that this book deserves a place in our Pooja shelf... And after reading it I would say that its by no means an exaggeration..

Kalki is an amazing author to say the least! The end of the 4th book left a lot of unanswered questions. Since I had a little idea about the major events in Chola history, I was keen to see how Kalki would bring his vivid imagination into the historical events. Hats off to such a brilliant fusion of imagination and historical events! Initially the book felt a bit slow since the storyline wasn't focused on the charming & gallant prince Vandhiyathevan Vallavarayan. But he slowly builds up the...more

Excellent book every tamil speaking person should read. If you can read Tamil,then please read it Tamil. From here onward assuming you are reading in Tamil. A captivating novel by Kalki that takes you places from India to Sri Lanka to the south and eastern islands. Extraordinary articulation of ancient times but at the same time using words that you can understand from current age. Everything is there, love, trust, obedience, betrayal, friendship, hate, anger, lust etc. Recommend to anyone if th...more

I picked up Ponniyin Selvan on a whim. Following my interest in historical fiction, Kindle showed Ponniyin Selvan on my recommendation list. I knew it was a 5 volume set and a significant investment of time. The fact that the first two books were available on Kindle Unlimited pushed me towards it - and Pavitra Srinivasan's translation, a few pages in, ignited my interest immensely. Only later after reading other translations did I realize how wonderfully she has preserved what I perceive as the...more

The Chozha throne is under a threat like never before. The reigning king is sick and bedridden( and probably house-arrested). A fallen Pandya king's close associates vow to avenge him by destroying the Chozhas; while some Chozha conspirators try to bring their own favorite to the throne. How Arulmozhi Varman (later known as Raja Raja Chozhan) beats these odds and sits on the throne, is narrated brillianly with a number of interesting reel and...more

Wow! Simply brilliant climax to a Magnum Opus
Landing a plot with such wide scope of characters and events built up over four previous volumes, and that with the additonal burden of handling historically well known figures is no mean task. Kalki the legendary writer does all this, all the while also keeping in sight the need to feed the readers' nail biting anticipation.

Ponniyin Selvan is clearly a Masterpiece. The book tells the story of Arulmozhivarman, who later became the Chola king RajaRaja Cholan (Literally means King of Kings). The story starts with the King Sundara Cholan being Ill and bed-ridden. This news causes conflicts within the Chola dynasty in choosing the next king and led to Conspiracies to overthrow the King. Who became the king after Sundara Chola and what made RajaRaja one of the greatest king, is the end of the story.

A grand end to a modern epic. All the characters' arcs are (mostly) completed. The titular Ponniyin Selvan (Arulmozhi Varman) gets to play a big part in this volume. The badly misunderstood Pazhuvettarayar gets redeemed as a character and earns the readers' sympathy too. There are 2 places in the novel where my heart feels heavy during every reading. Both of them involve death and both of them occur in this book.
