Reviews

[Diksha · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series offers a refreshing perspective on the lives of Ram, Sita, and Ravana, distinct from the original Valmiki Ramayan. I especially admired the fierce, warrior-like portrayal of Sita, which stands in stark contrast to the traditional depiction of her character. It feels like a fair interpretation of how Sita might truly have been — as the princess of Mithila. With her father, King Janak, often engrossed in scholarly pursuits, it is plausible that Sita played an active role in managing the state. This could have provided her with a deep understanding of political affairs, warfare, and strategies to make the kingdom self-reliant.

A fantastic set of books by author Amish Tripathi . The way Tripathi encapsulates complex mythological stories into digestible and comprehensible stories which actually and scientifically make sense, for most of the book, is commendable. Being a fan of the Ramayan as a kid, this is an absolute refresher, and not just the plot of the war but also the politics behind it!

[Aditya Damodhar Dhanapal · Rating 2 out of 5]

A close reading of these books show the author taking too many creative liberties with the original source material, which is not a problem, except the changes to the story are commentaries to real-life controversies in India. The author does a less than optimal job managing the characters and their motivations while incorporating their responses to the situations presented.

Amish keeps you engaged through his narratives. Having read Ramayana and watched televised versions since childhood, it is very refreshing to read a more pratical take on the events rather than the otherwise magical and mystical versions.

The first 3 books were interesting. But the final one was definitely a disappointment. Was expecting to see the glory of antagonist instead ended up with philosophy lesson, could have been a lot better.

DO NOT READ. PAYOFF ISN'T WORTH IT. FORGET WORTH, THERE'S NO PAYOFF AT ALL!!

The first three books were good and the final book is so bad it made me regret ever reading the series.

✨While Ram and Sita together personify simplicity, integrity, grace, and acceptance, despite their share of trials and tribulations; Raavan is an intriguingly complicated character who is cold-hearted yet miserable at the same time.

✨In between the above opposite set of characters, there are people like Indrajit and Kumbhkaran, who are virtuous yet justifiably on the wrong side.

✨ Vibhishan, though portrayed as a greedy hidden wolf, plays an eminent role in turning things better for the good side. Lakshman, Hanuman, Shurpanakha, Sugriv, Bali, Tara, and others clearly symbolise the different attributes of human beings distinctly.

✨The multilinear narrative style of the series, with the first three parts based on individual characters (Ram, Sita, Raavan) lets you dive into their personal stories and perspectives. And their culmination into the fourth part (which was released much later than the first three) and is most electrifying - Well, it was all worth the wait!!

The Ram Chandra Series is a brilliant blend of mythology and fiction, reimagining the story of Lord Ram in a fresh, thought-provoking way. Amish combines rich storytelling with deep philosophy, bringing ancient characters to life with modern emotions and complexity.

Each book — Scion of Ikshvaku, Sita: Warrior of Mithila, Ravana: Enemy of Aryavarta, and War of Lanka — offers a unique perspective, making the series not just a retelling, but a layered narrative that explores duty, destiny, love, and leadership.

It’s a perfect mythological fiction series for anyone who wants to explore Indian epics with a twist — engaging, insightful, and powerful.
