Mahabharata: A Modern Retelling by Carole Satyamurti

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring mysterious sad fast-paced

4.5

By it's very nature being abridged its themes and depth have been buried. Yet they are still hinted upon throuhout the magical, human tale of god's, peasants and monsters.
 My god the pace it carries in the first ⅔s is simply incredible. Nothing could be a greater inspiration for me to read the full work once I can get my hands on it.
It would be 5/5 if not for the constant reminder that I'm not reading the original in its full glory.
