Maithili And The Minotaur : Dolls Of Despair - Book Review


Maithili And the Minotaur : Dolls of Despair 

Author : C. G. Salamander
Illustrations: Rajiv Eipe


Welcome to the third wild ride of “Maithili and the Minotaur: Dolls of Despair”! This book is like a rollercoaster through a magical world with Maithili and her gang—Minotaur, Naagesh, Anjali, and Wolfhound. They’re on a mission to find Maithili’s mom, and things get crazier than a squirrel in a coffee shop.


It all starts with Maithili’s dream featuring a kid on a hill and a creature with the same eyes as her dad’s killer. Maithili thinks she’s got extrasensory powers and can change the future. 


While Maithili’s off in dreamland, Naagesh, Anjali, and Wolfhound speed ahead, leaving her and the Minotaur in the dust. They finally catch up at the Cave of a Thousand Eyes, which sounds like the perfect spot for an eye doctor’s convention, if you ask me. The thousand eyes illustrated are haunting yet mesmerising.


Just when things seem to be looking up, Anjali tosses Maithili her mom’s box, and boom! Magic bangles snap onto Maithili’s wrists, putting her powers on lockdown. Now she’s gotta figure out how to save the day without her superhero skills. 


Maithili and the Minotaur: Dolls of Despair is a fun and thrilling book with oddly mesmerising graphics that help enhance the story. If you’re a fan of unconventional illustrations, then this story is just for you. The thousand eyes, misshapen monsters, her oddball crew especially Naagesh. The illustrations are definitely worth a look; they’re so imaginative and creative.


Fans of the series will love this new adventure and will be eager to see what happens next.

Book Review of Hold Onto Your Dreams by Ruskin Bond - A book brimming with wisdom, warmth and a reminder to hold onto your dreams.

Following “How to Live Your Life,” Sir Ruskin Bond on his 90th birthday, presents another gem with “ Hold onto Your Dreams .” These letters are beautifully crafted, and I’m thoroughly enjoying this one, especially the personalized feel of the font that looks so handwritten.  This book is in the form of a letter and I would suggest you to be a recipient of this letter. It’s written straight from the heart and so as a reader when you are turning the pages, you just go with the flow.  As I was reading, the one person that I could think of was my grandfather in law. A man who was almost the same age and the wise words that he always spoke about, seemed to resemble with the theme of this letter. It felt like conversating with him after a long. We lost him last year.  The hard copy is so beautifully crafted with the wisdom quotes highlighted individually on a different page. Moreover even the illustrations are so thoughtfully put up.  This letter is a reminder for the young readers that maki
