Book Review: The Alpha Yeti by Sum

Book: The Alpha Yeti

Author: Sum

Publisher: Authorhouse UK

Genre: Fiction/Fantasy/Folklore

Blurb:

Every tribal land has its own tribulations and the Kasis were way beyond any hope or help, for what they were undergoing was terrifyingly unspeakable. It wasnt any myth or taboo. This one was true. The One God was as real as the White Giants. But, all the suffering and trepidation came from the impossibly aggressive Grey Giants. They were a deformity: a fallen imprecation on the Kasis. Somehow, a sensible Bhirendi, the elderly last of the Kasis, addresses the tragedy and rushes his people into the underground chambers of Ravaial before they are forced to face the wrath of the monstrosities that lately have begun to roll down from the White Mountain. With the situation only getting worse by the moment, the tribes hire a pack of ace hunters from the West. But, one of them freaks out and abducts the daughter of an estranged but once-upon-a-time famous hunter to only earn his ire. The hunters are drawn together into a strangely unwelcome land of doom with their fates sealed under the White Mountain. They soon realise that time is all they have left in the entire world when the Grey Giants begin their vicious play. SUM brings to you, The Alpha Yeti!

Review:

A thriller with a good narrative is always an enjoyable treat. The book is great in terms of execution, the pacing is good, the movement in the story is well done. For a book with such a great topic I thought the book was a bit short and the characters did nothing extra to adjoin in the greatness of the book.

The tale is intriguing from the very start and the same is maintained throughout, though it was a good and interesting read I found it hard to connect with it at times.

I love stories that has some different touch and this book certainly had one. The author did a great job in producing something to the readers at every twist and turn.

I felt the cover of the book could have been story driven, it says nothing to me and is not appealing.
Recommending this to all the book lovers who love fast paced books with edgy topics and narration. This is a sure shot weekend escapade.
