Synopsis

This is a journey of Sita to make India a great place. Lanka has taken over all of India and unfair taxes are being imposed. Many of Sita's secrets are revealed. Through Sita's views and perspectives you can see the whole story. She needs to complete her mission of being a goddess and make India prosperous. She marries Ram for a different reason. After their marriage, Ram fires the Asurastra (a daivi astra) and it leads him to the punishment of 14 years exile. Sita and Lakshman go with him and they use these years to prepare for what has to come in the future to become the great king and queen of Ayodhya. They will save India from Raavan's attacks and make India prosperous! It is what is expected of them, but, due to the fight between Guru Vishwamitra and Guru Vashishta, the tribes have also divided and thus, chosen two different Vishnus. Sita has brought a change in that though…

My Thoughts

Violence in this book is comparatively less. I suggest this book to ages 11+ as there is mild violence. Also, there are some hard and long words. There are no pictures at all. So, people who are comfortable visualising without any pictures can read this book.
