A review by queeneallie
Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. It's similar to "The Red Tent", in that it takes a character from a major religious work and expands her story into an engaging biography-novel. Kaikeyi was a character in the Ramayana. I found myself looking up the characters and the story as I was reading, but then I stopped because I just wanted to enjoy the story.

I did think it was a little long, but overall I did very much like it and recommend it for a strong, female lead character and wonderful weaving of magic and historical fiction.
