Jean Angel – Atul mohite

Quote: “Between the battle of emotion and reason,what wins? Reason.”

Apart from prologue and epilogue there are 17 chapters in a 74-page book that makes the reading experience easy and it lets the reader get a grip of the story. JeanAngel falls under the category of fantasy and story revolves around 3 kingdoms but mainly focuses on Zesia. Zesia was ruled by a tyrant ruler king Robert who exploited his own people and killed them for no reason. His strict rules of controlling citizens were terrifying. A noble fearless man who did not care of repercussions spoke his heart out against king Robert, he announced about the child of prophecy who will be born and liberate people from Robert’s oppression. The story is based around this prophecy. The story is character driven and some good characters are portrayed in Atul’s storytelling. The only problem I had was abrupt names of some characters in  English while some Hindi made me feel tad disconnected at times. Though I get Atul Mohite’s perspective of inducing vivid culture and racial variety in storyline. The most fascinating character is of Jean-“The child of Prophecy”. He is mature beyond his age. He shows composure and understanding that speaks volume of his character. The storytelling is crisp and engaging yet there were few occasions when it felt rushed. It is quite entertaining when Jean narrates his dreams and when he communicates with angel seeking knowledge and wisdom. Jean is focused and progresses gradually towards his destiny of liberating Zesia and killing Robert. This is the first part of the book and was sad with an abrupt ending on cliffhanger. It is recommended for beginners as its language is easy and the book is a fun read. Though there are few mistakes in editing but it can be overlooked
