The Queens of Hastinapur Review ‘A perfect amalgamation of mythology meeting fantasy’ – Swaty Singh, Bengaluru ‘The Queens of Hastinapur is a fast paced novel and an engaging read. It is written from the point of view of Ganga, Jahnavi, Gandhari and Pritha. It takes you back in the days of Kuru rule’ – Salil Sathe, Pune ‘Having read the book in single sitting, I want to now go back and re-read some parts which I consider have been defining moments in the Mahabaratha.! Waiting dearly for Hastinapur 4!’ – Aparna Sreedhara, Bengaluru ‘Balances magic with rationality, heroism with vulnerability’ – Rahul Vishnoi, New Delhi ‘The Queens of Hastinapur speaks with the voices of Gandhari (Book 2) and Pritha (Book 3) with ringing believability, fleshing them beautifully into rounded characters and imbuing them with the growth that drives them forward into legend’ – Yumna Hari, New Delhi ‘A book that is valid today and has the message that soap box orations are not always necessary for a woman to assert herself and exhibit her strength and power’ – Shohinee Mukherjee,Mumbai ‘Fascinating and unstoppable until you reach the end’ – Biswajit Das, Pune ‘The best part of this book, as in the first two, is the introduction of logic into the world of myths. The story is totally believable. Details are vivid; you can almost 'see' what's happening! His writing is indeed commendable. Who says only eyes read? Sharath's description evokes all senses’ – Atika Srivastava, Allahabad ‘Sharath Komarraju has proven himself to be a master at alternative mythology yet again’ – Sonali Dabade, Hyderabad Whilst I know that this is the product of the author’s own imagination, I find myself willing it to be true, so very believable is it. It is almost disappointing to think that the truth is probably different….although who knows! – Monisha B, London.
