Not the introduction to the subject this book pretend to be! I'm totally new to the hindu myths and was really looking forward to read this book. I did enjoy it. I did learn a lot. But I also had some problem getting into it, not understanding, but remember and connect every dots. There is tons!!!! of information in it, lot of name (a glossary sure would have help!) and it became confusing and hard to get through it. I thought maybe I was just dumb, but a lot of reviews seem to go in the same way.

It's a good book, a good work of reference on the topic, even if it could have been better organized, but honestly... not for beginners, maybe more for amateurs who want to deep dive a bit more into it, but for the newbies, it just felt overwhelming with too many information. I am always a reader who complain about book not going deep enough or being too light and this is my punishment for it!
