A review by daradara
Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel

3.5

 I thought I would fall in love with this book and it would take me on a big adventure with Kaikeyi. At 46% I was thinking "Nothing's happened" and towards the end, everything happened and I was struggling to keep up. The pacing could've been better, and Kaikeyi and other characters could've been more fleshed out. I think if I compared this, "mother loves her child so much" trope with other books I love in this trope (Amina Al Sirafi and Sword of Kaigen) this one was the weakest. 

But, I ate the story up. I enjoyed the audiobook and the narrator. There was never a moment where I wanted to DNF. I am not familiar with Indian Mythology or The Ramayana but this being a retelling is so fun!

I'm looking forward to the author's newest book coming out!
