Book Review: Karna’s Celestial Armor by Surendra Nath
Karna’s Celestial Armor Author: Surendra Nath Sold By: Amazon Asia-Pacific Holdings Private Limited Rating: 3.5/5 Personally, Karna is my favourite character from mythology.

In this part, inspired and motivated by Karna’s alter ego, he decides to go on an expedition to find…

Each page ends with a ‘curious’ note and the child will be tempted to read further. However, the grammatical errors will hinder the process of learning. Also, I felt the inclusion of the part in which the young Chimpu proposes the…
