War Of Lanka (Ram Chandra Series Book 4)

🎯 Unflinchingly gripping!Devouring on 475 pages of this book in five days was the best Diwali treat I gave myself. 😉All the praise sung in favour of this intuitive author by the Indian and world celebrities is so true! Amish writes to engulf the reader inside his world. One could also say; he is reshaping Indian mythology, one series at a time.🎯 From how to be a human, to, how to be a GOD; this book encapsulated it all!This book can be used to study human psych. Love, animosity, devotion, treachery, spirituality, greed, friendship and grief the story has it all. Being the fourth in the Ram Chandra Series, it definitely pays off to have read the initial 3 books for getting the hang of nuances in the situations and characters. Nonetheless, the author has covered relevant details of the flash back well.🎯 It is the lack of greed to become a GOD that actually makes Ram one. Ram’s obsession with ‘dharma’ not only endears him to the reader but even to the enemy in his story. Ram very effortlessly teaches us that if one wishes to be in line with the inner conscience then ‘dharma’ is the way. The way of a true ‘human’. Sita is an epitome of an ‘ideal wife’ inch by inch.🎯 While Ravan’s character highlights that no matter how powerful one gets using ‘adharma’, his conscience will never accept it. An ‘adharmi’ is in a constant ‘state of war’ with his/her core, even if they don’t notice. No matter how many reasons one can produce for greed-filled, self-centric actions, the end can never justify those means. ‘Adharma’ is a burden on the soul.This book leaves a reader on the hook for the fifth one… 🤗

The 3 books cross their path in this volume. Righteousness vs ego. Vice va discipline. love vs raging love. The book humanises the famed war and in turn gives our childhood memories a spin. Happy readings.

As a story this book is amazing, but since it's a part of our history some facts are just not acceptable. At points the story is made to be scientific and in that way it lost it's interesting points. Though I find it amusing, as it's a mythological fiction some facts will certainly be distorted no doubt. However overall I can say it's a really good book. This is a Ramayana where you can't hate any person. Everyone is amazing and have their own character development arcs that make the reader feel more connected to the story. It's good though. After waiting for 4 years I can say... It was worth it. Just I am a little disappoined with Ravana. A sequence in the middle spoils the entire plot where Ravana says he knows he will be killer by Shri Ram and he willingly accepts it. This episode could have been shifted to the last, just the conversation part after his death where we would have got to see a side of Ravana that knew his fate and as a veera accepted it. But keeping it in the middle made me feel like a king who gave up without trying. He didn't though. Cuz when he fights in the later chapter he actually meant it. Just a minor change and I would have loved this book a little more. But let it, I definitely loved it and looking for the next part 😌 yeah u heard me right. He gave a tease for another book or series in the end.

Got the book perfectly 😇

I really enjoyed reading Raavan but this book is a total destruction of all major characters and storylines. Not only did it make Ravan look pathetic, it also made Ram look weaker. There were no stakes and no risks.In a nutshell, despite the author's style of rendering a knitting tale of mythology and science, this book failed to utilize the potential it had. The result being just another story for acquiescence.Rating:- 3.25⭐

Super book

As always, brilliantly told alternative narratives interspersed with amazing insights, viewpoints and plot.However, in a book set in circa 3400 BCE, characters quoting Greek and other western philosophers like Seneca, makes it really awkwardly odd reading. May be the syndicate requires more oversight.Some of the battle sequences are vividly written which beyond a point become a bit arduous. A few illustrations would have been nice.

Great quality no mis prints for any other issues. Love the storyline cant wait for the next part.
