Sivagami's Vow, Volume 4: Shattered Dream: An English Translation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s Sivagamiyin Sabatham:
"A great ending though a little sad, for this novel. Kalki has managed to draw out the characters and bring the particular era to life. I did not even realize that I have read a 1000 page novel while reading these 4 books.
Thanks to the author for mak" Read more of this review » |

Sivagami's Vow, Volume 3: The Bikshu's Love: An English Translation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s Sivagamiyin Sabatham:
"4.8/5
Yet, another engaging and thrilling continuation of the series by Kalki. This focuses on the siege of Kanchi and the subsequent fighting along with Sivagami's love story. " |
