This book is a masterpiece by any standard you choose!The last part in the series is full of action at each and every thread of the story. The action starts with ponniyin selvan who we left in book 3 and sets the context for the title Pinnacle of Sacrifice in English. The book builds up gloom for over 300 pages before the storm clouds clear to allow sunlight. Some of the twists and turns are sort of predictable but then the prose more than makes up for that.The book title somehow made you know all along what was to come and that whatever is the buildup is towards the one critical historical incident. Hence it is a marvel the amount of yarn built around this event.

  Parts of the book are extremely moving.The book has strong female characters surprisingly for a time when the society was dominated by men. Manimegalai and Manthakini devi are immortalized doing a bit of injustice to the other heroines of previous parts like Poonkuzhali and Vanathi.The friendship between the characters that are at times extremely at logger heads was a bit hard to digest. You would want the \'bad guy\' to be punished but then history says that guy lived on. The epilogue was brilliant where the author answered what happened after the period in the book.One very satisfying series read!Overall Series Rating: 5/5.

  At various points in the story, I have loved/hated the same characters, laughed with them, walked through deep dark forests, travelled to Srilanka, plotted with them, felt pity for characters I wanted dead from start, loved characters that I thought were inconsequential to the story.

My favorites are definitely poonguzhali for her attitude, PS and Kundavai for their truthfulness towards their friends, manimegalai for her part in the last book, sendhan amudhan for being an honest person until the last sentence he uttered in the book and ofcourse vandhiyathevan for his charm(I did get annoyed at him for few reasons in the last book for which I am not willing to forgive him).

  I also didn\'t like the way he handled the \'older\' Mathurantaka\'s storyline. Given that he\'s an important character, Kalki could\'ve focused a bit more on the emotions of Sembiyan Devi or Chinna Pazhuvettarayar when people find out the truth about him. It felt like the writing was abrupt and Kalki was just glad to be rid of the character.But in the end, Ponniyin Selvan - Thiyaga Sigaram is an excellent read which would leave you fascinated with the lives of legendary kings/demigods who lived centuries ago.

I picked up Ponniyin Selvan on a whim.

  Following my interest in historical fiction, Kindle showed Ponniyin Selvan on my recommendation list. I knew it was a 5 volume set and a significant investment of time. The fact that the first two books were available on Kindle Unlimited pushed me towards it - and Pavitra Srinivasan\'s translation, a few pages in, ignited my interest immensely.

  I knew it was a 5 volume set and a significant investment of time. The fact that the first two books were available on Kindle Unlimited pushed me towards it - and Pavitra Srinivasan\'s translation, a few pages in, ignited my interest immensely. Only later after reading other translations did I realize how wonderfully she has preserved what I perceive as the original tone of Kalki\'s work. The original work was serialized in a magazine and I, to some extent, experienced reading the book in a serialized form owing to the incomplete checks I did prior to embarking on the project.

  I only saw 2 volumes of Pavitra Srinivasan\'s translations and blithely assumed that all other volumes would also be available. Only upon finishing the first two did I realize that Pavitra was still working on the third volume. I began searching all over for the other three volumes and quickly stumbled upon Indra Nelameggam\'s translation - the first part of third volume - available freely on the internet. I downloaded it to my kindle and read it. My appreciation of Pavitra\'s nuanced translation grew thousand fold upon reading Indra\'s underwhelming work. Sometimes, when translating works pertaining to a particular period in history set in a geography known for its linguistic achievements, a language with immense historical signficance, it is best to leave some form of the original words as they were, not only to retain the flavor of the original work but also to allow the user to get into the book\'s atmosphere.

  At the sametime, some amount of sensitivity is called for. Calling Thevarams as Psalms is a ridiculous way of translating. There were more such jarring examples, but I won\'t get into those.

  Suffice to say that I could not go any further than that first part and did not have the heart to go for any more freely available translations. Then I came across CV Karthik Narayanan\'s translation on Kindle.

  I started again at the first part of Volume 3 and ploughed on. The going was much better with CVKN\'s pen. His translation was far more balanced and mature. Somehow, I am still partial to Pavitra\'s translations and will come back to those when they are available.Now coming to the 5 volumes, they are \'First floods\', \'The cyclone\', \'The killer sword\', \'The crown\' and finally \'The pinnacle of Sacrifice\'. Of all the books, I found the first one the most satisfying.

  It brought back fond childhood memories of reading Chandamama stories and such. It laid the foundation stone for my interest in the series, that did not waver much after reading subsequent books.Kalki Krishnamurthy is adept at portraying human emotions, the frailities of human nature, internal conflicts and the problems they create at one level, and the political strife, the majesty of great warriors, the intelligence and survival instincts of those holding important positions in great empires at another level. Also, his books contain some wonderfully independent and intelligent women - in fact, the key character that drives the narrative towards the doomsday that every reader would pray not happen, is an extraordinarily beautiful woman that does not have historical backing but only Kalki\'s fertile imagination to thank for her existence. The hero is not always right, he does not always win, he is beset with self doubt and the brave warrior he is, he quavers at times when faced with insurmountable odds.

  Fate, that propels all lives forward, with nary a care of any individual\'s comfort is shown as it should be - the all powerful and uncontrollable thing that shapes lives of people and kingdoms. The intrigues and people caught in the web, their helplessness, the exaperation of people trying to do good, all these are captured very well.I have become a big fan of Kalki\'s works. Thinking of picking up his other translations soon. Ponniyin Selvan!! Chozha Empire\'s Game of Thrones!!The Chozha throne is under a threat like never before. The reigning king is sick and bedridden( and probably house-arrested).

  A fallen Pandya king\'s close associates vow to avenge him by destroying the Chozhas; while some Chozha conspirators try to bring their own favorite to the throne. How Arulmozhi Varman (later known as Raja Raja Chozhan) beats these odds and sits on the throne, is narrated brillianly with a number of interesting reel and Ponniyin Selvan!!

Vandhiya Thevan and Kundavai are instant fan favourites.

  Nandhini, a lady of beauty and brains, who thinks like a grandmaster moving her chess coins, is the best antagonist you can ask for.Kalki\'s description about the old cities of Pazhaiyarai, Tanjore and Pazhuvur makes us want to go back in time to see those cities and the great many palaces he describes. Mentions about the valour of our great Tamil kings, the many famous battles they have fought and the advanced Tamil society induces a sense of pride.Overall, this is a must read historical fiction.About the translated version: While the literal WORD-BY-WORD translation is off putting at times, its not very easy to translate such an epic masterpiece either. And the author succeeds in what he meant to do.

  He has given the reader, an opportunity to experience this wonderful masterpiece. Simply brilliant climax to a Magnum OpusLanding a plot with such wide scope of characters and events built up over four previous volumes, and that with the additonal burden of handling historically well known figures is no mean task.

  Kalki the legendary writer does all this, all the while also keeping in sight the need to feed the readers\' nail biting anticipation. What someone would call an apparently abrupt ending is also a mark of a great writer, imho.

What someone would call an apparently abrupt ending is also a mark of a great writer, imho. The grace with which he had acknowledged even this slightest disappointment and included an epilogue that explains why he had to end it that way, but adds a cherry on top by giving a glimpse into the future from that point and bringing to close all the characters - key or not key, is simply brilliant.

  A five part Magnum Opus that gives a beautiful opportunity to teavel 1000+ back in time, to the Chola period. Travel to the Thanjavur belt will never be the same again.

  Legendary stuff. Finally, if the reader felt aligned with one of the key characters (வந்தியத்தேவன், அருள்மொழிவர்மன், or குந்தவை), I am sure that was also an intentional ploy by the great writer. If you have already read the first four books, you definitely wouldn\'t need this clunky review to read the fifth one. If you read this review to this line, thank you very much. யாம் பெற்ற இன்பம் பெறுக இவ்வையகம் 🙏. Ponniyin Selvan is clearly a Masterpiece.

  The book tells the story of Arulmozhivarman, who later became the Chola king RajaRaja Cholan (Literally means King of Kings). The story starts with the King Sundara Cholan being Ill and bed-ridden. This news causes conflicts within the Chola dynasty in choosing the next king and led to Conspiracies to overthrow the King. Who became the king after Sundara Chola and what made RajaRaja one of the greatest king, is the end of the story.Kalki has written the Ponniyin Selvan is clearly a Masterpiece.

  The way he unveils character\'s backstory and their behaviour is amusing. This book has everything a person can ask for like Love, Friendship, Betrayal, Vengeance, Warriors, Wars, Sacrifice, Tsunami, Storm, and Flood. One can loosely relate the storyline and characters with that of Game Of Thrones.What amazes me is that Kalki has spent nearly 3.5 years of his life for this book. He travelled throughout South India and to Sri Lanka a couple of times to collect information for this book. No wonder this book has been hailed still now.Overall a Wonderful read. A grand end to a modern epic. All the characters\' arcs are (mostly) completed.

  The titular Ponniyin Selvan (Arulmozhi Varman) gets to play a big part in this volume. The badly misunderstood Pazhuvettarayar gets redeemed as a character and earns the readers\' sympathy too.

Both of them involve death and both of them occur in this book.The part of history that the novel is based on, is mentioned in the afterword by Kalki. I got the feeling as always that Kalki was planning to write another series that would refer to some of the characters in this one. It is a pity that he did not live long enough to write it.I have said this before and will say it again. All those who can read Tamil, should definitely read this novel at least once in their lifetime. All those who understand, but cannot read Tamil, should first learn to read Tamil and then read this book. You are really \'THE GREATEST STORYTELLER\'The way it is written, we really are transported to the era the story is happening.

  Rage 2 cheat trainer. I dont know if denuvo is causing issues with the trainer but whenever I play the steam version with the current trainer, I’ll lose audio randomly while in missions and just exploring the world. I thought it was just the game at first but decided to try playing without the trainer running at all and my audio issue was fixed completely.

  Thank you KALKI Sir. Thank you very much sir. I know that already thousands of people had reviewed this book. I cannot simply go without reviewing this.

  I have finished it but still I could not come out of the book. I am wondering about each and every line and characters. We cannot hate any of the characters. All the characters are described very well.

  Like everyone, I also liked \'Poniyin Selvan\' who is the son of Ponni and others like Alvarkadiyan, Aditha Karikalan, Paluvettaraiyar, Nandhini, Vanathi, Poongulali and Senthan Amuthan.

I began searching all over for the other three volumes and quickly stumbled upon Indra Nelameggam\'s translation - the first part of third volume - available freely on the internet. I downloaded it to my kindle and read it. My appreciation of Pavitra\'s nuanced translation grew thousand fold upon reading Indra\'s underwhelming work. Sometimes, when translating works pertaining to a particular period in history set in a geography known for its linguistic achievements, a language with immense historical signficance, it is best to leave some form of the original words as they were, not only to retain the flavor of the original work but also to allow the user to get into the book\'s atmosphere.

  At the sametime, some amount of sensitivity is called for. Calling Thevarams as Psalms is a ridiculous way of translating. There were more such jarring examples, but I won\'t get into those.

  Suffice to say that I could not go any further than that first part and did not have the heart to go for any more freely available translations. Then I came across CV Karthik Narayanan\'s translation on Kindle.

  I started again at the first part of Volume 3 and ploughed on. The going was much better with CVKN\'s pen. His translation was far more balanced and mature. Somehow, I am still partial to Pavitra\'s translations and will come back to those when they are available.Now coming to the 5 volumes, they are \'First floods\', \'The cyclone\', \'The killer sword\', \'The crown\' and finally \'The pinnacle of Sacrifice\'. Of all the books, I found the first one the most satisfying.

  It brought back fond childhood memories of reading Chandamama stories and such. It laid the foundation stone for my interest in the series, that did not waver much after reading subsequent books.Kalki Krishnamurthy is adept at portraying human emotions, the frailities of human nature, internal conflicts and the problems they create at one level, and the political strife, the majesty of great warriors, the intelligence and survival instincts of those holding important positions in great empires at another level. Also, his books contain some wonderfully independent and intelligent women - in fact, the key character that drives the narrative towards the doomsday that every reader would pray not happen, is an extraordinarily beautiful woman that does not have historical backing but only Kalki\'s fertile imagination to thank for her existence. The hero is not always right, he does not always win, he is beset with self doubt and the brave warrior he is, he quavers at times when faced with insurmountable odds.

  Fate, that propels all lives forward, with nary a care of any individual\'s comfort is shown as it should be - the all powerful and uncontrollable thing that shapes lives of people and kingdoms. The intrigues and people caught in the web, their helplessness, the exaperation of people trying to do good, all these are captured very well.I have become a big fan of Kalki\'s works. Thinking of picking up his other translations soon. Ponniyin Selvan!! Chozha Empire\'s Game of Thrones!!The Chozha throne is under a threat like never before.

  Nandhini, a lady of beauty and brains, who thinks like a grandmaster moving her chess coins, is the best antagonist you can ask for.Kalki\'s description about the old cities of Pazhaiyarai, Tanjore and Pazhuvur makes us want to go back in time to see those cities and the great many palaces he describes. Mentions about the valour of our great Tamil kings, the many famous battles they have fought and the advanced Tamil society induces a sense of pride.Overall, this is a must read historical fiction.About the translated version: While the literal WORD-BY-WORD translation is off putting at times, its not very easy to translate such an epic masterpiece either. And the author succeeds in what he meant to do.

  He has given the reader, an opportunity to experience this wonderful masterpiece. Simply brilliant climax to a Magnum OpusLanding a plot with such wide scope of characters and events built up over four previous volumes, and that with the additonal burden of handling historically well known figures is no mean task.

  Kalki the legendary writer does all this, all the while also keeping in sight the need to feed the readers\' nail biting anticipation. What someone would call an apparently abrupt ending is also a mark of a great writer, imho.

What someone would call an apparently abrupt ending is also a mark of a great writer, imho. The grace with which he had acknowledged even this slightest disappointment and included an epilogue that explains why he had to end it that way, but adds a cherry on top by giving a glimpse into the future from that point and bringing to close all the characters - key or not key, is simply brilliant.

  A five part Magnum Opus that gives a beautiful opportunity to teavel 1000+ back in time, to the Chola period. Travel to the Thanjavur belt will never be the same again.

  Legendary stuff. Finally, if the reader felt aligned with one of the key characters (வந்தியத்தேவன், அருள்மொழிவர்மன், or குந்தவை), I am sure that was also an intentional ploy by the great writer. If you have already read the first four books, you definitely wouldn\'t need this clunky review to read the fifth one. If you read this review to this line, thank you very much. யாம் பெற்ற இன்பம் பெறுக இவ்வையகம் 🙏. Ponniyin Selvan is clearly a Masterpiece.

  The book tells the story of Arulmozhivarman, who later became the Chola king RajaRaja Cholan (Literally means King of Kings). The story starts with the King Sundara Cholan being Ill and bed-ridden. This news causes conflicts within the Chola dynasty in choosing the next king and led to Conspiracies to overthrow the King.

  The way he unveils character\'s backstory and their behaviour is amusing. This book has everything a person can ask for like Love, Friendship, Betrayal, Vengeance, Warriors, Wars, Sacrifice, Tsunami, Storm, and Flood. One can loosely relate the storyline and characters with that of Game Of Thrones.What amazes me is that Kalki has spent nearly 3.5 years of his life for this book. He travelled throughout South India and to Sri Lanka a couple of times to collect information for this book. No wonder this book has been hailed still now.Overall a Wonderful read. A grand end to a modern epic. All the characters\' arcs are (mostly) completed.

  The titular Ponniyin Selvan (Arulmozhi Varman) gets to play a big part in this volume. The badly misunderstood Pazhuvettarayar gets redeemed as a character and earns the readers\' sympathy too.

Both of them involve death and both of them occur in this book.The part of history that the novel is based on, is mentioned in the afterword by Kalki. I got the feeling as always that Kalki was planning to write another series that would refer to some of the characters in this one. It is a pity that he did not live long enough to write it.I have said this before and will say it again. All those who can read Tamil, should definitely read this novel at least once in their lifetime. All those who understand, but cannot read Tamil, should first learn to read Tamil and then read this book. You are really \'THE GREATEST STORYTELLER\'The way it is written, we really are transported to the era the story is happening.

The range and depth of emotions the author has handled in this novel could not be described in any way by anyone who has completed this novel. IT CAN ONLY BE FELT.Lastly a very sincere thanks to the author for the efforts and pains he had undergone to gift this very beautiful amazing novel.

  Rage 2 cheat trainer. I dont know if denuvo is causing issues with the trainer but whenever I play the steam version with the current trainer, I’ll lose audio randomly while in missions and just exploring the world. I thought it was just the game at first but decided to try playing without the trainer running at all and my audio issue was fixed completely.

  Thank you KALKI Sir. Thank you very much sir. I know that already thousands of people had reviewed this book. I cannot simply go without reviewing this.

  I have finished it but still I could not come out of the book. I am wondering about each and every line and characters. We cannot hate any of the characters. All the characters are described very well.

  Like everyone, I also liked \'Poniyin Selvan\' who is the son of Ponni and others like Alvarkadiyan, Aditha Karikalan, Paluvettaraiyar, Nandhini, Vanathi, Poongulali and Senthan Amuthan.
