Book Review: The Luminosity of Crystals & Dimensions of the Heart by Vidya Math

The book holds two novella-type stories, placed against magical realism, with different world building at its helm. You may say that the stories are inspired by author’s experiences with folktales and reading of magical literature since her childhood. As in her books, even in these two stories, readers will experience traversing across magical people, land, portals and other things.


Vidya’s smooth narrative let you get introduce and integrate with a new culture and far-away lands. No forced world building. The stories are about Diya and Zara – two female leads in quite opposite worlds. Diva is heartbroken as her boyfriend ignores her, controls and hurts her. Anyway, as the story commences, she is set off for a journey to flatland. She meets people from her past, including that boy Ben. She indulges into socializing and partying at the same experiencing mystical experiences through crystals.

Through magical worlds she experiences healing…her faith is restored in the vibrant colours of life. How will she behave and reciprocate to others that influence her upon returning – better pick up the book and know the fate of a young girl in magical circumstances?

The second story in the book–Dimensions of the Heart–features inter planetary backdrop where Zara, an immortal sort of beauty, is at the forefront. She manages dimensions with her team of energy menders. It is a next-level story as here readers will get to know how inter planetary trade and their allied energy takes place. Zara comes in a contact with a fruit seller called Xeron from a different planet. Their chemistry is worth noticing as they are so restricted by limitations that they might express love for each other. The unique point of the book is its depiction of other worldly people, portals, and powers.

Vidya delivers delightful, magical tale that will captivate both children and adults alike. This can be read by parents to their children as well, because listeners will get an opportunity to travel through different worlds and magical life forms.

Vidya’s lovely writing creates a rich world where imagination reigns supreme. The story explores themes of self-worth, self-acceptance, friendship, love, kindness and the importance of embracing one’s uniqueness. Both characters delving in both worlds teach valuable life lessons about resilience and the magic of believing in oneself.

This is quite an endearing book that combines imagination, humour, and profound life lessons. The warmth of the writing and the connection to the rich redolent world building make this tale so poignant and recommended.

The book is available to buy from Amazon/Kindle

Poem Summary: Where The Mind Is Without Fear by Rabindranath Tagore

Poem by Rabindranath Tagore: Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
