4.0
3.5 rounding up.
The third book of the series and the energy has dipped a bit. Well not because of lack of trying, but the Ramayana as a whole has really some boring plot in between.
Ravana is worse than dead after the Mithila disaster and yet it is his pious brother, Vibhisena who cares and tries to nurture him back to health. Without Raavan, Lanka will burn and it does. The different asuras with no apparent leader wreak havoc.
Only it is planned. By someone who I still do not know how they fit into that role.
Meanwhile, the brothers are in the jungle and Suparnakha kidnaps naive Sita to lure out Ram. Love/Lust is a funny thing and for all of that she's rewarded with a sliced off nose by her dewar. and oh, Jatayu changes loyalties. Once again.
At Ayodhya, Dasarath finally passes away. So does the wench, Manthara. It looks like that place finally has some peace.
In the next book, Hanuman should finally make an appearance.

I was reading another book at the same time, and that book was so good good that it made me realize how derivative this one is. This whole series is poorly written and uncompelling. I can't believe I wasted my time on the first two books.

It had weird casteism and colorism.
