review 1: I loved the imagery in this book, I felt as though I ran with Nitish and Farhad across the whole of India. More than that, I enjoyed delving into the symbolism and cultivating my own interpretations. I found it fascinating that nearly everyone who rendered Farhad aid was a woman, while those who caused him the most grief were men. The ambiguous ending has kept me thinking about this book long after I finished it, coming back to different parts as new interpretations present themselves. It was honestly one of the most engrossing books I've read in a long time.
review 2: Antonia spins a beautiful tale. Her story takes place in India, mainly Madras and Rajasthan. It starts off with a very rich merchant who falls in love with beautiful native girl of Rajasthan, mar... moreries her, and takes her with him to his home in Jaipur. Complications Incoming! The merchant is Ravan the Demon King of Ceylon and Safia is Lord Krishna’s daughter. Safia is in danger just by living under the same roof as Ravan. Farhad is given the task of saving Krishna’s daughter and Krishna gives him reasons to do what he is told to do. Farhad was no hero; he was a trickster. He has to perform the task, that’s why Krishna sent a sacred tiger Nitish as a protector. Main themes in this story are Hindu Mythology and adventure though there are other subthemes.I was just surfing through the shelves of my school library, this book was standing out from all the others. So I started reading, first the blurb just to get an idea. I picked it because- FANTASY! This story was really enchanting however I would have liked if she researched a bit more about Hindu Mythology as she did get some things wrong. less
