Most fantasy has Kali in it...
Then there is pic related. It's poorly written, like bad. But I learnt some poo in loo mythology.

It was shit. I tried to read it to get a hold of Hindu mythology, but the author is inexperienced, has a poor grasp of the English language , and lubes up and rides all the gods' dicks in this novel hard.

If it wasn't written with such crude English (i think in the attempt of it being accessible to children) it would have been a great book. I finished it but didn't continue the series.

How persons traveled, the advances in medicine, etc, all would have been digested better if it wasn't for his bullshit prose. He should have written it in Hindi and found an excellent translator to work on it. I'm 50% certain it would have come out better than this.
You can give it a try if you want.

What Hindu theme books you read and recommend?

When was the last time you shat in the streets?

Do I have to fuck an Indian girl to gather Hinduism themes?

Closest I can think of is Lord of Light.

Or pic related... but it was Mary Sue shit, still insightful delving into the Hindu religion. So it was educational.
