The Myth of Hastinapur

The Myth of Hastinapur by Rahul Rai
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never been a fan of Mahabharat, and that is probably the only real reason I took a star off. I am sure to fans of it this would be a 5 star book. I will say reading this book has made me want to take a look at the show.

From what I know about the series if is 1000 episodes or something. That is a little too long for me. Rahul managed to get to the important parts and even highlight things and characters that might have been missed out. As there a huge cast of legendary characters in the series.

The book is great for people who want a summarised version of the series or fans of the show that want to see more or new sides to their favourite characters. Another thing done well is the way each chapter is written like a short story, but tgey are all interconnected.

A very good book slightly more for the fans but there is nothing wrong with that. I look forward to see more of Rahul's work.
