Sita: Warrior of Mithila by Amish Tripathi
4.0
2nd book in Ramchandra series, it portrays Sita's initial years and then retells the story from her perspective that we already read in Book 1 Ram. Additionally it also fills the gap where Ram wasn't in the narration.
I am a huge fan of Amish in fantasy-fiction among Indian authors. If you read his books esp Ramchndra series, it is woven with ancient and modern Indian threads. At one instance there is a mention of Rape case similar to Nirbhaya's (also in book 1 Ram). At another instance Sita pulls in vyomkesh jibe in one of her many interactions. However sometimes it could pull you out from the story and that's why I had 1 star cut off.
Another point in Amish's writing is that the characters can go on philosophical discussions, which can feel overwhelming to some. However i take it as Amish's style of writing. Also i learned from another Amish's book Immortal India, that writer and his family members indulge in such deep conversations every now and then. Hence it could be inspired by those events in his life.
The end of the novel leaves you at yet another cliffhanger (as with Amish's older novels). Can't wait to try my hands on Ravan.
Recommend to try it out and see for yourself.
