Review

When I started this book, I realised within 5-6 pages that some events were turned to make it a “fictional” story. Initially my thought was this is going to ruin and mix the real Ramayana events with the twisted ones in my mind, but I am hopeful that won’t happen..

Amish Tripathi has written this book in a very simple manner, keeping the authenticity alive with real historic details and character names, but slightly tweaking the events and relationships among people. I liked how the events turned and fit with eachother very well! 🙂

Looking forward to reading the SITA book next, as she was represented as a very strong woman and a warrior in this book. She was a fascinating character in this book. 🙂
Do read it if you enjoy real events inspired stories 🙂
