The Mystic Lawfirm by Shyambala Book Review:

Radha’s life changes when she gets hired at a law firm after several rejections.But what she doesn’t know is that this law firm is unlike any other law firm. Run by celestial beings, this firm only takes cases of souls denied entry to heaven. Also the only human employee, she has been hired as part of a dangerous agenda. An exciting mix of Mystery and Indian Mythology, this debut book is a fast, thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout!

I am so glad I picked this book up to read. With a unique plot that incorporates Indian Mythology expertly in Contemporary settings, this book held me captive all through.

Things I liked:

Book Title, Blurb, and Cover:

The book title is pretty unconventional and had me intrigued enough to check out the blurb. Then the blurb is interesting but it could be made more captivating so it justifies the promising plot within. The book cover is average.

Plot and narration:

The plot is the highlight of this book. It is unique and something I haven’t read before. Then with the simplicity of the narration that will be enjoyed by both novice and seasoned readers, I was sucked in the story right from the start.

Every twist and turn is expertly planned, and managed to keep me glued to my seat until the very end.

World Building:

The fantastic and realistic world building of this book surprised me. With the level of credibility this world provides, you won’t be able to guess this is a debut effort. I applaud the author on creating a world that made me believe that mystic law firms like the one in the book really exist. And that somewhere, Gods walk among us disguised as normal humans.

Characterisation:

The characters are realistically sketched and you will relate with them. Radha’s desperation to get a job, her self-doubt, her dismay after each rejection, her yearning to experience the love of her now dead father, and her frustration with her nagging mother are all so relatable. She symbolises a city dweller young woman trying to make her way in the world.

I enjoyed following her on her journey to make sense of her new reality, and solve the mystery behind the latest case.

Then the character of Mr. Sudama was another interesting addition. A quiet, enigmatic, and masterful lawyer, he is her superior who knows everything. And also has his own reasons for keeping Radha near.

I also enjoyed the other characters in the office, and the various clients who range from ghosts to souls. Then Radha’s grandmother is another intriguing character who I hope gets more coverage in the future books.

The characterisation of Lord Yama is quite different from what we have seen in books, TV shows, and movies. And I loved how the author justified his appearance in this book.

You will also enjoy and connect with the backstories of the clients, Gods, and the heroine that all beautifully tie up together in the end.

Things that could be better:

While overall I enjoyed reading this quick, and interesting story, I also feel a few things could be improved upon.

First are the few grammatical errors, and language errors that can be corrected with another round of editing.

Second is the conspicuous ignorance of the love angle. There is a major love angle that forms a major backbone of this story but the author doesn’t expand on it. At the end, it is just mentioned in passing. Maybe this angle will be worked on in the next book but I really wanted to see how the couple reacted to it when it was revealed to the unaware half of the couple. However, despite this, the book ends with a satisfying closure to the story and the mystery.

The author has left a few hints that this story could be continued further. And if that happens, I know I will be picking up the new books to read!

Conclusion:

All in all, The Mystic Lawfirm by Shyambala is an entertaining, unique, and thrilling story that will not only keep you hooked but also leave you wanting more. All through the book I could visualise it on TV and thinking that it would make such an exciting movie or TV show. So, this book has the potential to be adapted on screen. And I hope it gets adapted too!

So, 4.5 out of 5 stars to it from me. And Njkinny recommends this fantastic debut fantasy mystery with Indian Mythological flavours to all readers looking for their new favourite book!
