    Interesting characterisation & story line

Book 1~Bahubali Before The Beginning~THE RISE OF SIVAGAMI BY ANAND NEELAKANTANThis novel talks about everything that happened before the beginning of Bahubali. The story is centred around Sivagami, the future queen of Mahishmathi. It depicts the story when Sivagami was a teenage girl. As in all the Bahubali movies this story also has many characters, which makes it more interesting for the readers.This story is about how Sivagami became a part of the palace officials. In this story, Sivagami hates Mahishmathi and it's king Maharaj Somdeva since her father was been executed by him for treason. This is about her journey from an orphanage to becoming a bhoomipathi of Mahishmathi.You will also read about Kattappa during his teenage life. You will come to know about his family & how he became such a great warrior. The story depicts his suffering & struggle to survive in this master & slave lifestyle. You will experience how he has to take tough decisions in his life.You will also come across Bijjaladeva & Mahadeva. You will come to know about Prince Mahadeva as you have hardly known about him from the movies.The author has described the orthodox thinking in a brilliant manner, the master and slave lifestyle, the cast based designation and ill treatment that was followed during the olden days. As you will expect from a Bahubali book, it has fighting and war scenes poured down brilliantly in terms of words.The story is very interesting as Sivagami hates Mahishmathi then how she became the queen of Mahishmathi. The story ends at very interesting point where Sivagami is declared as a bhoomipathi which makes you think about will she take her revenge or not, hence you will also be waiting for it's next edition.

    Well written but not as per my expectation because...
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in India on 26 April 2018*

Being a huge Bahubali movie series fan I thought this book should be a must read. The book started off really well and it got me captivated instantly. However as the book progressed instances of atrocities on women started creeping in ..not once but several times. I cant say if elaborating such instances is right or wrong. All I can say that Bahubali movies had ZERO depiction of such cases. Even when there was one ... both the Bahubalis chopped of that guys head(1st movie where Bhalla son was beheaded and 2nd movie it was Senapati). And that makes this fantastic Epic movie so great and larger than life and entertaining. And specially for kids. Which is why I was really surprised how did they take this different approach for the book. I would have honestly enjoyed the book a lot more had there been less elaboration on seduction, molestation, etc. It was really disturbing ...even though its a fiction. Having said that the book is very well written ..no doubt about it and after reading the book you will love the popular characters of Sivagami and Kattapa more and would want to wait for the next book. So is a definite read for Bahubali fans but NOT for kids.

    Highly recommended
  

*by V***A on Reviewed in India on 14 August 2018*

So, i finished reading this wonderful book, which is a prequel to baahubali movies. And i loved it thoroughly...This book tells the story of shivagami from her childhood days, this is the story of her desire to destroy the kingdom and to avenge her father's death.The kingdom of mahismati has a big secret to it. There are corrupt and cunning officials who can go to any limit for their benifit. There are rebel groups standing against the kingdom. There is a prince who only knows how to use his power.And, then there are characters like kattapa who is highly devoted to his country and to his duty.There is skandadasa who has attained powerful position in the system through sheer hardwork and all these characters being on the opposite side move the story ahead.All these made this a completely entertaining read.The best part of the book is that all the characters are written in such a way that all of them are equally important for the story, you will either love them or hate them but you can not ignore them. Being a part of the series ofcourse the story does not complete at the end of this book and will be continued in the next book of the series, which i now wait much eagerly. The last page ofcourse makes sure you can not stop reading the next book. I loved the book.Highly recommended for the historical fiction fans, baahubali fans.
