[Leena Sidharthan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story of Lord Shiva and his first wife Sati is engrossing.
The illustrations are beautiful and the language is easy to understand.

Without Shakti, there is no Shiva. Without Shiva, there is no Shakthi

[Jon Nakapalau · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story of Sati and Shiva is told in this wonderful comic. All the drama of a Shakespearian tragedy; pride taking down someone who just can not see the bigger picture. One of my favorite comic series to read; have learned so much about the Hindu gods from reading these books. A wonderful way to explore the rich and complex culture of India.
