The Simoqin Prophecies, first published in 2003 in India, was critically acclaimed and an instant bestseller. It marked the beginning of Indian fantasy writing in English. Written with consummate ease and brimming with wit and allusion, it is at once classic sff and subtle spoof, featuring scantily clad centauresses, flying carpets, pink trolls, and homicidal rabbits.

now this will not be to everyone's taste, but this books cynical absurd world building is more reminiscent of hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy than Terry Pratchett work. and all the characters are reasonably likeable and interesting. I found the story gripping and the humor goddammit delightful.
now this book isn't flawless it has 2 major problems. firstly the beginning is super unfocused and confusing bit that clears up quickly
second I'm pretty sure some wordplay and satirical elements where lost in translation
despite all that this book worked it's way among my favorites for being silly, absurd and serious in a magnificent balance
