Lanka’s Princess by Kavita Kané
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
My review may be biased as I prefer the Mahabharat epic to the Ramayana of which she is a part. I found her characterisation uniteresting and unrelenting when compared to a Menaka in Menaka’s Choice or an Urvi in Karana’s Wife. But like I said it could be my bias towards the epic; the reason why I’m yet to read Sita’s Sister.
Surpankha or Meenakshi reminded you of someone who is beyond reason and needed a moment of catharisis to even consider a different viewpoint. It reminds you of a lot of the younger generation today who think the world is out to get them and fail to even consider or notice that the people who care are only looking out for them. As such this fast-paced book will appeal to certain lot of people but failed to leave me behind with something.
Worth a read if you are looking for a different point of view for the known epic.
I was thinking... 
This book is in my wish list since long…

So not worth it! Was such a disappointment after Karna’s Wife and Menaka’s Choice.

So, I guess I would rather pick some other book. 🤓

If you just want to read all her books like I did then do. Haven’t read Sita’s Sister yet.

I don’t want to read all her books. I just like mythology and this author has been on my list since long. Devdutt Patnaik is also there. Hopefully I’ll read atleast one book by each of them.

Then of Kavita Kane’s read Karna’s Wife and of Devdutt Patnaik read the Pregnant King – his only novel. Then if you want to read lesser known Mahabharat & Ramayan stories read Jaya and Sita respectively.

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s hard to choose one book from the several books by the authors. 😄
