Reviews

[Arvind Yerram · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yet again talks about the various battles and mini battles taken in Kurukshetra war in a detailed manner. I feel there are few bloopers with the names but I am not sure if it is a type or if it is as per the narration. It is even possible that there are multiple people with such names. Majority of the book went well but the ending was rushed as Karna parva is told very fast. I am sure, this is only the snippets but certainly doesn't suit for the kind of ending expected from Sharath.
