Book Review on "KAIKEYI the mother of a god by Suresh Kala"

KAIKEYI The Mother of a God by Suresh Kala is a debut novel and an epic.

About the Story:

The story whirls around “Kaikeyi” Dhasarath’s wife fondly known as “Ram’s “mother.

The story opens with a twisted tragic were Kaikeyi was accused for Ram, Lakshman and Dhasarath’s death. She was taken to a private court meant only for Royal family malefactors. The court was situated several miles away from the capital and kept isolated.

The author tells about how Kaikeyi was born and bought up, how she married in hands of King Dhasarath and her past revealing the secrets some unaware things about her.

All the incidents, conversations, actions and her skills were exceptional.

Will Kaikeyi survives the accusation? Will she be punished for her sin? Will Ram come back shattering the destiny? Will the enemy’s rule over Ayodhya? Who will rule Ayodhya?  Lies the suspense of the story.

About the book:

This book is so intriguing, one cannot stop reading oneself until you finish it. The pace of the story is precise and intact. The language was simple, and we can come some new words that were used in ancient times.

The way the author narrated the story is mind blowing. I have never heard or seen “Kaikeyi” has such an intellectual mind and as a warrior. She was fondly called as “Chhoti” by their brother’s, that part was pleasing.

All those incidents, happenings and her braveness to overcome the hurdles was exemplary. The author has made so many logical interpretations and given a beautiful way of connecting the negatives into positives, made us love this story and fall in love with Kaikeyi.

Kaikeyi’s childhood comes like a flash back in between the story and gives an added flavor to the book.

The most interesting part is that, she meets Lord Shiva and their conversation about good and bad was remarkable. The author has a creative mind to explain such an in-depth, unseen and alluring things.

You would be very curious to know what happens next and what Kaikeyi as planned to defeat the shoddy situation.

I totally loved this novel and it’s a must read for all.

I would rate 5/5 for this ancient mythology.
