Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel

5.0

i adore retelling stories that are done in a way to tell the side of a story that most people don’t know. for me, i didn’t know any of this story at all. learning about it was incredibly fascinating and it’s easy to see why Kaikeyi is such a liberating character to write about. her time and place in history is really specific and carries certain connotations in their context. i loved this story and thought it was filled with so much love, sacrifice, and understanding.
