Scion of Ikshvaku by Amish

4.0

Claimed as 'Blockbuster Book of 2015' before its release, Scion of Ikshvaku, Book #1 of Ram Chandra Series, was a good read, though it was not as engrossing as Shiva Trilogy. The major story arc remains the same as the original epic, which dulled the climax and made it highly predictable. But it still has few surprises in its pages. Combining his imagination, philosophy and scientific approach of our mythology, Amish narrated the events from Ram's birth to Sita's abduction. To be honest, my expectations were more. Anyway, the book is still a good read.
