BOOK REVIEW – THE YOGI WITCH BY ZORIAN CROSS

BOOK REVIEW – THE YOGI WITCH BY ZORIAN CROSS

The cover looks awesome with a person emitting powers to destroy a black being in a brightly lit room. Of course, I identified all this only after I finished half the book. Otherwise the colour (black and gold) was the only thing that attracted my attention.

BOOK DETAILS

Name: The Yogi Witch
Author: Zorian Cross
Format: Hardcopy
Number of pages: 340
Availability: Amazon (Buy the paperback here or the Kindle version here)
Rating: 4/5

TITLE & SUBTITLES

The title got me curious about the kind of witch in question, as a yogi is someone good at yoga. I wanted to know what a witch was doing with yoga. Elimination through black magic? The blurb did build on my inquisitiveness.

LANGUAGE

The English language was simple though there were a few English as well as Indian words that many may be unaware of. Google helped a bit. My favourite was ‘etheric shield’.

BLURB

The story is a narrative by a yogi witch, Jai, who has a loving family. As a young boy, Jai finds himself a regular target for the bullies around him. Despite a deeply etched trauma, he falls in love with his neighbour, Vir, only to find that love is a curse for witches. And, Vir’s sinister family is doing everything in their power to keep them apart. When Jai finds out why, he uses his training and magical powers to try and save Vir from the destiny that Vir is born to be a part of.

REASONS I LIKED THE BOOK

*Though the prologue confused me a bit as I’m not a reader of the mythological realm, the book was very well written. I almost believed the different theories given around the various well-known historical stories.
*It shows how all religions have a lot of similarities. I also like the way the author has intertwined all the religions into the story.
*It truly states that ego separates man from animal.
*It keeps us in suspense so we, readers, are curious enough to continue reading.
*It helps us understand how college life can intimidate an introvert.
*It talks a lot about yoga poses that I had recently learnt. Also, it hints that hatha yoga is a better bet for beginners than power yoga. Point noted!
*It shows how good family relationships help make you a better person. It reminds me of how I simply dance crazily with my kids or make weird faces in front of them to show them that nothing is perfect.
*It also shows how a loving family can help you heal from trauma.
*It subtly tells you that when life throws lemons at you, you should make lemonade instead of fighting, complaining and destroying.
*It shows us that ‘love spells’ that many so highly regard are actually dark spells because there cannot be love when it is forced by blackmail or manipulation.
*It helps you understand how bullies turn into bullies.
*It shows us how parents have an intuition of bad happenings despite our rebellious teenage mode that forces us to think that we know everything.
*It rightly states that everyone who learns a subject cannot necessarily teach it too.
*It makes us aware that sinister people still live in this world and aim at destroying it sooner or later.
*It confirms that to forgive is truly divine.

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT

*Perhaps a glossary at the end would have helped someone like me.
*There were a few negligible errors.
*I was lost with the sudden mention of characters like Shakti, Vasuki, Amrita, etc. without any introduction amid the story.
*By chapter 28, I was getting a bit tired of the elaborate informative explanation of magic, chakras and asuras. I was more interested to know if Jai would save Vir or not, and how. 

FINAL THOUGHTS

I found this book a great read though it wasn’t the genre I normally enjoy. I was interested to know how the author would end this magic-oriented story of witches, demons, bloodlines, legacies, yoga and love spells. Except for a chapter or two where I found that the elaborate explanations were too much to grasp, I enjoyed reading every bit of it till the end. If you’re a fan of this genre, you should definitely get this book and read a chapter or two every night in order to understand and enjoy it slowly!

Let me know your thoughts on this book review.

    This is a very different and unique way of portraying a witch. It’s character caught my attention already from reading the subject line only. I guess that’s one of its catch as well. The story is a so-so for me. Not my cup of tea but a unique one.

    I like reading books about magic and fantasy. But am not fond of LGBTQ literature. But magic of love has the power to balance everything. Spells can be malefic and benefic–depends on how you use them. But whenever you shift energy, there are bound to be repurcussions. I like the way you have listed your likes pointwise, explains the theme and plot in a clean manner.

    The title of the book is really interesting and cryptic. The blend of yoga, witches, and love makes for a heady combination. Would love to read this book which has such an interesting backdrop.

    This looks interesting! The Yogi Witch by Zorian Cross weaves a captivating tale of love and magic. Jai’s journey to break the curse for his beloved Vir sounds like a spellbinding adventure of courage and devotion.

    This book is talk of social media in recent times. This genre is new to me though but I wish to read this and experience the MAGIC of the author’s narrative and mystically fall in love. Full marks to your review and your analysis skills.

    Magic has always intrigued me and magic books are my favorite. I like to pick up a book and read about the wonderful, mysterious and sometimes dangerous world of magic. My interest in magic started when I was very young. Every time I heard or read something about it, curiosity took over and I had to know more about it. Would love to check out this book

    I was under the impression that Zorian Cross was a foreigner!
