Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 paints a rich first picture of the mighty Cholas, their land and people. Having had very little idea about the Cholas, this was a neat introduction into the great history of peninsular India.
With beautiful imageries and detailed descriptions, all you need is good imagination skills. Voila! You are transported to the 950 AD. The characters are illustrated well and each one piques your interest, although there are so many of them, it's getting a bit hard to keep track of them all!
But the plot is pretty normal, so far at least. We are dealing with kings and their desire for power, land, conquests and revenge. This book has barely grazed the plot and has focussed on establishing it's characters. I'm in here for the interesting characters and learning more about the history, so moving on with the series!
