review 1: The best historical novel with the plot in Rajendra Chola's reign marvelled me the most.The depiction of Thennavan ElangoVel of Velir clan is the best hero ever. The bravery and love of this character takes us to some extreme pride of cholas and their dedication towards the chola kingdom. The story took place in Eelam is great with the brave acts of Elango. The usage of historical figure Vandhiyathevar is thought provoking.
review 2: Really nice work which portrays the life of Emperor Rajendra Chola... In the last page, the author Akilan will be thinking of the olden times of how our ancestors lived, how good their way of life was, how much proud they were having in themselves as a Tamil, how much they patronized art and literature, how many magnificient temple... mores they built, how cruel they were to their enemies, how strong they were in wars and so and so... But when he thinks about the present situation of Tamilakam he says two drops of tears comes to his eyes... It's the same for every artistic readers - no wonder it got Sahitya Academy award... less
