This has become on of my all time favorite series

Revisado: 05-07-21

The saga continues from Upon a Burning Throne and I loved it as much as the first! I love the new twists on this old story that I've known since I was a toddler. Fell in love with Krushita and Drishya and can't wait to see where this goes. Ashok K. Banker has quickly become on of my favorite authors and I look forward to seeing how the Burn Empire Saga ends and read much more by him.

Book I always wanted but never imagined I’d get.

Revisado: 09-15-19

This hands down makes my list of all time favorite books. This is the book that I had always craved since I stared reading fantasy books in high school but never imagined would get written. I grew on hearing stories of the Mahabharata on the lap of my maternal grandfather as a child. As soon as I was old enough to read, I was given children’s versions of the book and since then I have devoured every English translation I could get my hand on. Maybe being so familiar with the story and having a deep love for the characters helped me to love this book so much. Though its foundation is the Mahabharata, the author changes up enough things to make it fit our modern times. I love that he makes the women have more powerful roles and gives them a voice. I love that my beloved Pandavas, called Krushan here are not all boys! 2 of the 5 are girls and the one that’s supposed to be the strongest of them all, Brum is a girl! There are many changes like this that made me absolutely fall in love with this book. Glad to know it’s only the first of 7 books planned. I can’t wait to read the rest to see where he takes this story. I definitely recommend this to people who have read and love the Mahabharata, but also this that love high fantasy that is different from most others out there.

Absolutely Amazing!

Revisado: 08-06-18

Hamlet has always been my favorite of the Bard's tragedies since I first read it in high school. That being said, I wasn't sure how I would feel about a re-telling of the story. I was pleasantly surprised! The story doesn't use the language of Shakespeare but doesn't dumb it down either. The story is fleshed out without taking away the integrity of the original story and gives perspective to many of the characters so we can understand their motivation.This version of Ophelia is one I enjoyed immensely and without giving away any spoilers, I have to say my favorite character is Yorick!
