I was expecting to like this book, but I ended up loving it! I was not familiar with The Ramayana, so this was so fun and fascinating. I loved the exploration of motherhood, misogyny, and patriarchy. Kaikeyi was such a strong character, and I loved following her on this epic journey. She was so resilient, complex, empathetic, and so well written. The novel was very well paced and will stay with me for a long time!
