After being disappointed about how Kaikeyi and Sita were treated in the Ramayana, it was so refreshing to read this excellent perspective that flipped the myth on its head. I loved so much about this book, from the concept of the Binding Plane to how Kaikeyi’s Big Decision rested on what was best for the women of the kingdom. There were some twists here that made me absolutely cackle with glee. Highly recommend this to any mythology lover, especially if you enjoyed Circe.
