These Savage Shores by V. Ram is about an ancient shape-shifting Rakshasa named Bishan who takes on a great evil that comes to his homeland. In 1766, India, after the Anglo-Mysore war, the East India Company sought to expand its interests in India. The company sent a vampire to help secure its position. He hopes to make India his new home and hunting ground. Little does he know that something much older and more dangerous is also in India, and it doesn’t like it when someone tries to take over its territory.
I thought the graphic novel had beautiful illustrations. The story was entertaining, but there were a few times I was confused about what was happening. I think there were many side stories happening that didn’t come together very cohesively. I would have preferred if the graphic novel had focused on one main storyline and developed it more thoroughly. I would be open to reading more books by the author.
