bhumikabv 's review for:
The Fisher Queen's Dynasty
by Kavita Kané
Another masterpiece by Kavita Kane! Though I know Mahabharata very well, though I knew the consequences of each decision, Kavita Kane's writing kept me hoping, rooting for Satyavathi. Though I knew they were doomed from the start, I kept hoping things would go differently. I was absolutely enchanted with the writing style.
The way the characters were portrayed were simply amazing. Every emotion and reason behind their actions were justified. And this is a huge feat because all our Puranas provide are the overall plot- what happened generally and what happened with the main characters. But writing in the perspective of the lesser known characters, especially the females, is a very difficult task.
Though women is given importance, they are equally put down by the patriarchy in most of the Puranas. Yet, now I'm realising how women were instrumental for many of the wars and bloodsheds. People never understand what power a woman has. Sometimes, we women don't realise it at all! I suppose that's the reason women have been oppressed all over the world, from centuries- ridiculed and undermined at every chance.
It's addicting, how I knew every character in Mahabharata was condemned in one way or another, still I kept wishing for an alternate fate- for their sake. But as written in the novel in many scenarios-
"The way of the world is often misleading, taking us down a path we should actually avoid."
"You thought you could make your own future, but it eventually led you to the path you were avoiding for so long. That is the irony; that is Fate."
I am very eager, at the same time dreading the next book I wanna read of Kavita Kane, 'cause I'm sure it will be amazingly heartbreaking- my kind of poison.
