Overview: Narayanan. The Pradyumna Series

Comments: This is a pair of novels: Pradyumna: Son of Krishna comes first, and then The Secret of God's Son. You can read just the first one, or you can read them both together — they are both available as Kindle books, and they are both full of exciting mythology. For a quick idea about Pradyumna's life and adventures, check out the Wikipedia page. You can read an interview with the author here: Usha Narayanan – Author of ‘Pradyumna: Son of Krishna.’

Title: Pradyumna: Son of Krishna
Author: Usha Narayanan
Year: 2015

Title: The Secret of God's Son
Author: Usha Narayanan
Year: 2016

Length: 6 weeks. I've divided the reading into twelve parts. The first book goes for three and a half weeks (Parts A-B, C-D, E-F, and Part G), and the second book goes for two and a half weeks (Part H, Parts I-J, and Parts K-L). You can also just read the first book; it can stand on its own, although the sequel is a great way to keep learning more about Pradyumna and his adventures.

Kindle: You can buy your own Kindle of Pradyumna from Amazon for $14 and the Kindle of Secret of God's Son is $14 (checked prices November 2017); more about Kindles.
