Ramayana- The Game of Life - Stolen Hope - Book review
I am posting this here for the Full House Challenge as I will be crossing out the theme - Book published in 2016.
I have already posted the review for Part 1 - Rise Of The Sun Prince and Part 2 - Shattered Dreams.The first part talks about the time before Lord Rama was born to the time of His wedding to Sita. The second part describes the preparation for crowning Lord Rama as the King, Kaikeyi's plot , the trio - Rama , Lakshmana and Sita leaving the country to live in the forest.
Unlike many other series of books, you can start reading this book straight away without the feel that you are missing something from the first two parts. The author rightly says - When you bite into a cake,it hardly matters where you begin.
In this book, there is a Story So Far section where you can read the synopsis of the first two books in this series.
The story starts with King Danda violating the modesty of Araja the beautiful daughter of Sage Sukracharya.Enraged by this deed, the sage curses that his kingdom would into the place that houses animal-like humans and become home to the fiercest jungle humans ever known.Within minutes the glorious kingdom turned into a great jungle called Dandakaranya,
The book ends with Lord Rama meeting Sabari and she handing over a map to the brothers to get to the wonder monkeys in the Kishkinda forest who would be the instruments in helping Rama rescue Sita.
In between this,the trio - Rama , Lakshmana and Sita encounter a whole lot of hardships and demons and monsters of various sizes and shapes. The brothers find their way through the forest and also meet a lot of Sages, many of whom have been eagerly waiting for the brothers to arrive and free them of the various hardships that the demons have been putting them through.With each encounter with the demons, Rama makes sure that Sita does not see the gore of the war .
13 years in the forest moves seemingly smooth when catastrophe strikes .One of the main characters in this series is Surpanaka who is the trigger for the big war and the destruction of Ravana .
