Raj Sen@ananya_27 | In Raydiant Shadows - the nuanced potrayal of female charactersClick here to reply to @ananya_27 "She prepares her daughter not for peace, but for vengeance, urging her to be the tormentor of oppressors. Her role challenges the very idea that maternal love must always be soft. In Chaska, it becomes fierce and revolutionary. Then there's her daughter, Dana, who grows up to fulfil that legacy in a way that's both powerful and unsettling. Dana is a master of deception and strategy, someone who manipulates perception and seizes control."

Raj Sen@MandMWorm | The Real MVPClick here to reply to @MandMWorm "The narrative would have gone in a totally different direction and there would have been a lot of collateral damage. Our good boy saved the day by being stubborn and making sure that Alan saw the bomb. I mean, who would have thought that Jon's big bad plan would be thwarted by a dog out for a walk. Pretty sure he would have cried tears of blood if he heard about this. All in all, there were many interesting characters in this book."

Raj Sen@Airene | In Raydiant Shadows: Action heroes and legacy warriorsClick here to reply to @Airene "As a mythological fiction fan, I really, really enjoyed looking forward to how the prologue would be seen, would be sewed in into the modern day events that were happening with our protagonist. So towards the end of the this book, we are introduced to those particular fictitious entities. Or are they fictitious in reality? With the promise of a sequel. In Radiant Shadows tells you the story of a person who is out not just for revenge for what he faced in his own career."

Raj Sen@TanmayBarri | It's Brooklyn 99 as a book!Click here to reply to @TanmayBarri "Like doing that with three, four people is complex, but the author manages to do it with more people, all acting independently. Like in the house preaching scene in Afghanistan. The author helped me keep track of the people using little descriptions like mustachioed man or the lock breaking soldier. We actually met the author, Raj Sen online and he told us that he has a crime fighting bug. And I can imagine that came in really handy. Visualizing these scenes as he wrote them."

Raj Sen@MR12 | In Raydiant Shadows - A transcendent tale of justice across time!Click here to reply to @MR12 "Rather, it presents justice as an unfinished journey, one that each generation must shoulder anew. Sen ambitious structure, moving from the jungles of Peru to the deserts of Afghanistan and finally to the streets of la, is more than a stylistic choice. It makes a philosophical statement. The desire for justice is universal, not bound by geography, race or time. The violence may change in form, the oppressors may wear different uniforms."

So inspired by Robert Redford's look in that movie I mentioned a while ago, my character is portrayed wearing a peacoat in several scenes. Other than that, he wears solid colored short sleeve T shirts or button down shirts, dark blue jeans, suede boots, to show that he's a tough guy."

Very, very basic. And yeah, to be honest, with all due respect to the makers of those movies, pretty amateur. But if you look at the James Bond movies, which were more modern, featuring Mr. Daniel Craig, the fight scenes were very well choreographed, like a, like a proper combatant, formidable combatants fighting each other, like some special forces guys."

So, yeah, I mean, the fight sequences will definitely be unrealistic being set in a surreal world, but they should be depicted in a way I believe that it looks, it looks believable. It looks like a treat to the eye."
