Sita: Warrior of Mithila by Amish Tripathi

3.0

I am someone who has both read and watched Ramayan multiple times. I obviously knew that this was a mythological fiction which would not follow the actual Ramayan.
I went into this book with the same thoughts and was ready to face plats that were never heard of. To be honest, some parts of the story really made me cringe as they didn't have an ounce of truth to them. At these times I had to remind myself that this was but a fiction.
But the story itself and the writing were things where I didn't face any problems. The writing was speedy and eloquent. The plot kept me wanting for more. I could read this book for hours together without any problem. I found the conversations between certain people enthralling and educational, challenging the way society works.
Overall, it was an amazing book. I can't wait to read the next one. Just remember when reading it that it isn't completely based on Ramayan and give the book a fair chance.
