Review: Sita – Warrior of Mithila

Quote from the Book I Liked – “The best-laid plans always have a tendency to get spoiled. There have always been surprises.” (Para 5, Page 335)

Stars  – 3.5/5

Synopsis – India, 3400 BCE.

India is beset with divisions, resentment and poverty. The people hate their rulers. They despise their corrupt and selfish elite. Chaos is just one spark away. Outsiders exploit these divisions. Raavan, the demon king of Lanka, grows increasingly powerful, sinking his fangs deeper into the hapless Sapt Sindhu.

Two powerful tribes, the protectors of the divine land of India, decide that enough is enough. A saviour is needed. They begin their search.

An abandoned baby is found in a field. Protected by a vulture from a pack of murderous wolves. She is adopted by the ruler of Mithila, a powerless kingdom, ignored by all. Nobody believes this child will amount to much. But they are wrong.

For she is no ordinary girl. She is Sita.

Continue the epic journey with Amish’s latest: A thrilling adventure that chronicles the rise of an orphan, who became the prime minister. And then, a Goddess.

This is the second book in the Ram Chandra Series. A sequel that takes you back. Back before the beginning.

About The Book – So finally after a wait of 2 Year, Author Amish has come up with the 2nd Instalment of The Ram Chandra Series, ‘Sita – Warrior of Mithila’. The Book starts with Discovery of an abandoned Child Deep in the Forest by Queen Sunaina and King Janak. The Story revolves around the same plot as that of the 1st book ‘Scion of Ikshvaku’. Many of the Story felt the same as that told in the 1st Book, which was indeed Good as it refreshed the Memory and Old Storyline but was at the same time felt like rereading the 1st part (You Don’t have to Re-Read the first part in order to refresh the Storyline just Grab the Copy of 2nd Book and Read On).

There were a lot many Plot and Side stories left Untold which made me excited more for the 3rd Part of the book like The Relation between Vishwamitra and Raavan, The Original Reason for the Sourness between Vishvamitra and Vashishtha. The Major plot twist was left untold in the last line of the 2nd Book which made me wonder WHY? I also felt that the Upcoming Books must be written in a way that the 3rd Book Depicts the Life of Raavan, 4th Part should tell the Story till the Death of Raavan and 5th Should be about what happens after the death of Raavan, as the part after the Death of Raavan is often left untold in Other Books and Movies. But the whole book delivered Quiet a Great Adventure and Insights from the Life of Sita and the Best part was the way Amish Portrayed the character of Sita as a Fierce Warrior which is essential for the present context of Time. Amish is back again with another Epic Retelling of The Great Ramayan with a New Perspective required for the current time.

Eagerly waiting for the 3rd Instalment, ‘Raavan – Orphan of Aryavarta’ to Release in 2018.

Verdict –  The 2nd Instalment of ‘The Ram Chandra Series’ is as Epic as the 1st Part, with Sita depicted as a warrior in 2nd Part. A Must read for all Amish’s Fan and also a Nice and Interesting read for all The Mythological-Fiction Lovers out There.
