Book Review

“Shadows Revealed” by Rohan Monteiro, the sequel to ‘Shadows Rising’ brings Akran back into the spotlight with even more danger, humour, and excitement. Set again in modern-day Mumbai, this story follows him as he’s chased by assassins, a furious goddess, angels, and other powerful enemies. His new mission is to fix the growing rift between the celestial world and the human world before everything falls apart. Right from the start, the book pulls you in with fast-paced action and a fun, engaging storytelling style.

One of the best things about this book is how it mixes fantasy with light, natural humour. The mythology is fascinating, but the comedy really stands out. Akran’s sarcastic comments, the smart banter, and the many pop-culture references—from Marvel and DC to sitcoms—make the story lively and relatable. The characters feel real and enjoyable, and their friendships and clashes add a lot of charm. Akran’s journey brings new allies, big battles, and a strong ending that makes you excited for the next part of the series.
