The book gives the reader a completely new view of the mythological character Raavan. Especially in today’s times, where Indian epics like the Ramayan and Mahabharat are not read by the younger generation, this book is like a prelude to the Ramayan and encourages the reader to know more about it. Raavan is generally mistaken to be an evil character and cordoned off as a mere demon. However, this book lets you know the actual circumstances under which Raavan grew up to make him do whatever damage he has done in his time. The character descriptions are wonderful in a sense that the author tells the story in a cinematic style. Moreover, the book is easy to read and definitely gripping. Set in 3400 BCE, the book describes the geography and history of these times in India. It is a blend of romance, war, humour, feeling of brotherhood and revenge. It is a must read for all age groups.
