What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have praised the book for its compelling and nuanced retelling of a classic Indian myth, focusing on female empowerment and the journey of Kaikeyi from a hidden figure to a powerful queen. Many appreciate the layers of complexity in the characters and themes, especially the rich, fantastical elements and the emotional depth of the story. While some found the pacing a bit slow at times and mentioned that the narrative could have been more concise, the overall reception highlights a well-crafted plot with a memorable heroine. Readers also enjoyed the fresh perspective on a traditionally patriarchal story and the commentary on social issues woven into the tale.
