Sita: Warrior of Mithila by Amish Tripathi - Book Review

-

"You will need to be mature and pragmatic. You must use your heart to decide the destination, but use your head to plot the journey."

Book: Sita - Warrior of Mithila (Ram Chandra #2)

Author: Amish Tripathi

Publisher: Westland Press

Format: Physical Book

Genre: Mythology

My Rating: 3.9 / 5 🌟


My Review:

Do you expect the terms like India, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, etc., to be used by mythological figures in their conversation? The point that those stories occurred some 7000 years ago, I question how Amish could perform such implications in a casual dialogue among the actors. I would have agreed if he presented it as a hint for the readers to co-relate the sites, one of those times to that of today, but it wasn't, and it got me unhappy.

Growing up, I am convinced all Indians remember Sita's tale either by seeing or hearing Ramayana on television or from our parents. Amish's take on Sita provides a more practical take on how human she was and like one of us. To decipher their travels clearly, I wish the author had introduced a map. Overall, an okayish read. I especially had higher expectations from Amish after the Shiva Triology.

Book: Breathtaking Author: Courtney Turcotte Bond Publisher: All The Everythings Publishing My Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars "If you donate your organs, you will certainly enhance someone's life, and most likely, you will save someone's life." Review: Breathtaking, Courtney's debut novel is a marvelous piece that is motivated by real-life youngsters (the real heroes), and I am so glad that I got to read this one. Adam, Cara, and Reid, you are the cutest people, and you'll have grown to be my most beloved personalities. I covet we were buddies in actual as well. Breathtaking is regarding the ties of friendship and affection. There is an elegant fabrication of sentiments of joy, melancholy, heartbreaks, neglect, expectations, and recognition. This book, with its story, unquestionably teaches us a lot about life, nothing is constant. If there's a shadow of tribulation, there's also peace, and all take their course to emerge. This book not just m

Book: Thunder On The Moor, #1 Author: Andrea Matthews Genre: Historical Fiction, Romance, Time Travel Tour: Love Book Tours Format: Mobi My Rating: 4.2 / 5 ⭐ Blurb: Maggie Armstrong grew up enchanted by her father’s tales of blood feuds and border raids. In fact, she could have easily fallen for the man portrayed in one particular image in his portrait collection. Yet when her father reveals he was himself an infamous Border reiver, she finds it a bit far-fetched—to say the least—especially when he announces his plans to return to his sixteenth century Scottish home with her in tow.

Though a bit disoriented at first, she discovers her father’s world to be every bit as exciting as his stories, particularly when she’s introduced to Ian Rutherford, the charming son of a neighborin

Author: Blake Pierce Rating: 4 / 5 Stars Review: Amidst the cornfields, in the nowhere lands of Nebraska, there is a woman mercilessly assassinated and strung up on a pole, almost naked, with bruises on her body. This case is investigated by Detective Mackenzie White, a 25-year-old woman, who is not only talented, but swift, and with extraordinary zeal and smartness. She is looked down upon and not taken seriously by her co-workers as well as her immediate bosses. She is struggling to keep herself together in her male chauvinist work world, the brutal murders happening around her at an entirely startling rate. The inclusion of an FBI Agent for the manhunt helps her make progress in the case which she, if alone, would have found it very difficult, thanks to the little assistance from her colleagues. In the quest of finding the killer, Mackenzie realizes that the case is opening up the dark parts of her own personal life that she had shoved deep in her heart; failed bonds with he
