review 1: I picked this book up with a lot of expectations and anticipation. The only other book I had ever read on Luv and Kush was the good old amar chitra katha. It has great chuldhood memories associated with it. But what I encountered instead was a narrative which was quite dark in its tone. Once again, a great start and a completely different take on this story by Mr bankar. kudos for trying something different here.Unfortunately, my own expectations let me down. I was looking forward to the confrontations between the twins and the key protagonists but somehow that entire part has been ignored and instead more time is spent in building up the climax, which again like book 7 ends in a whimper.I am no writer sir, but I am surely an avid reader of your books. Somehow it felt that... more the last 2 books of the Ramayana series were written in a hurry. I am not disappointed just dissatisfied
review 2: A very different perspective of how Ayodhya has evolved after Sita's exile from the kingdom by Rama.A delightful insight into the lives of Luv and Kush, sons of Sita and Ram, though trained by Sita herself to evolve into better human beings. The book also throws light on the transformation in Ram's character, often viewed as a poisonous direct effect of the guilt he carried due to banishing his pregnant wife. Also provides a heart-breaking insight into Sita's life - born a princess, the wife of the Emperor and King everybody revers, but forced into a life of misery, solitude. Yet, she remains a brave-heart - never losing hope, but always forgiving Ram for the blasphemy.Readers interested in mythology must definitely read it. less
