The Book of Sevens: the Mountains by A R Vikram is a Triumph in the Adventure Fantasy Genre

Hey there! Dive into the fantastical world of “The Book of Sevens: The Mountains” by A R Vikram. Join me on a journey where reality is turned into mystical fantasy, and three young students’ life is forever changed by a divine destiny bestowed upon them by a magical book.

So, let me tell you about young characters, all teenagers: Aneesh Madhavan is 15, Kayal is 13, also his stepsister, and Fatima Rose is another 13-year-old. Kayal and Fatima are best friends and rarely agree with aggressive Aneesh. They attend same school. They are, like many, regular teenagers, or so does everyone think of them until they are discovered by an incredible magical book. A strange quirk of time and destiny await them. From the ordinary life of school and homework to the extraordinary realms of fantasy spanned across seven mountains of the world, their journey is filled with trials, adventure, mettle, and self-discovery. It’s a rollercoaster of fun, frolic, adventure and emotions that bind people together.

A R Vikram, the genius behind this adventure-driven story, really knows how to spin a tale with an equal élan of all literary aspects. Her storytelling grips you from the very first page, pulling you into a zone of different worlds in various timelines with vivid detail and heart-wrenching emotions of the people located in and around. Her writing style is so immersive; you’ll feel like you’re right there alongside the kids every step of their way to solving puzzles.

Here’s the thing that sets “The Book of Sevens” apart: it’s not just about magic and fantasy. Sure, those elements are there, but what really shines is the exploration of the human condition in the midst of adversity and challenges and how well they fair with one another. Insecurity, fear, doubt, loneliness, and hope – it’s all there, woven into their impromptu expeditions. It’s like looking into a mirror and seeing your own struggles reflected back at you, but with a fantastical twist.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on this adventure. This isn’t just a story; it’s an experience. Whether you’re a die-hard fantasy fan or just someone looking for a good read for yourself or your growing kids, this book will capture your heart and leave you pondering the meaning of sibling rivalry and bonding long after you’ve turned the last page.

As I joined and experienced this epic journey into the unknown, so do you can? “The Book of Sevens: the Mountains” is more than just a book; it’s a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can triumph. Let’s dive in and discover the magic together!

If you could live in the world of any book for a week, which book would you choose? I have made my mind with this.
