Yavana rani-sandiliyan


I just now started reading the sandiliyan novel Yavana Rani . The story is history based and events took place 2000 years back during karikala chola period. The story revolves mainly around these four characters Ilancheliyan ,hippalas, yavana rani and tiberius.
1. Ilancheliyan -chief commander of chola, and the hero
2. Hippalas - assistant of Ilancheliyan
3. Yavana Rani - princess
4. Tiberius- the antagonist

The story description is available in the wikipedia.
Here i will tell what i feel while reading the novel.

First of all, Sandiliyan is never an equal writer to Ponniyin Selvan Kalki.
Sandiliyan just drags the story and pure heroism which is not even performed by our now Tamil heroes (lol)
Even though the story and imagination are good, i somehow feel that its not interesting
I just finish off the book, i don even remember the full story that is the point
Despite all the drawbacks its one of the best story and those who found interesting in reading a historical novel , they will never be fooled .
