Brilliant story with beautiful illustrations. Obviously it is a lighter version of the life story of Amrapali. Amrapali; one of the most beautiful women and a tormented soul.
Everyone should read it to know how her life was.

This was a combination of 2 stories, which I didn't expect. I liked both and it made me read the Wikipedia article on Amrapali. As expected, the article provided more information on the story.

The second story was relatively predictable as was the moral behind it. Overall, I did like reading something outside Hindu mythology.
