It is one of the best books from Amish. His writing style is similar to the previous shiva trilogy. The description of surroundings, poster of a person, features, etc make the novel interesting and beautiful. Ram’s character has been portrayed beautifully. Though the story is similar to Ramayana(or in fact it is Ramayana), it is very good to read in English.
There is some added fiction in it but the whole theme and meaning of the Ramayana are not changed.
We have to appreciate Amish for making the youngsters(who forget these ancient scripts) read in a modern way.
The good things about the books are things like writing style but the fact that many people know the story makes it get lesser demand.
