Scion of Ikshvaku Ram Chandra Series Amish Tripathi Books

There is a sense of deja vu in all of Amish's writing - a sense that you have already read what has been written. I would not recommend this book to people who are looking for the pacy, fluid narration of a mythological story of one of the original super heroes of the world. It may be a good read for young children to whom one wants to introduce the world of Indian mythology in a manner of contemporary writing. But here too, Amish falls short of expectations because the connect between accepted notions of the events in Ram's life, and what is written - is absent. All in all - I would not miss not reading this book. A tragedy, because the earlier series had potential.

Scion of Ikshvaku Ram Chandra Series Amish Tripathi Books Reviews

I have read Shiva Triology so I have to compare the two. In both, Amish has humanize Hindu Gods, and in doing so he has taken lots of liberty. Most hindus are aware that Satyug is followed by tretayug ( Ramayana era) and Dwapar ( Krishna Era), however we have been told that Dwarika is many millennium before Rama time while Prince bhagirath is chandravanshi many millennium after Ram( Bhagirath was suryavanshi and Rams ancestor). There are lots of mistakes like that. Moreover all non human characters like Jatayu to Ganesh and Hanuman are deformed humans ( Nagas). However these are interesting reads, though Shiva Triology is much better written than this. Here author has tried to emphasize on philosophy esp in the beginning which seems to inspire by modern day India( on rape juvenile laws etc.) its ok to read once, not as good as Triology.
All of his books are simply sensational. You just cant get over it even though you have completed it reading. This book had made me fall in love with the characters I considered fictional. Amazing writing Amish. May you books serve a purpose to the society to inculcate values from instead of diluted philosophical religious books that hardly made any sense. Like in my previous review on your books I am telling you again, I am definitely making the movies on these...
The book was quite engaging , so much so that I was shocked when it ended. I kept waiting for that "something" to happen but it never did.
As is his style, the author has his own version of how and why the events transpired, which in places was beautifully executed. However I also felt that in the process some important events like the actual swayamwar ceremony were undermined. While the bond between the brothers was built upon well but the same cannot be said for Ram-Sita.

All in all, a mixed bag, but a good read !
As always, Amish has done a brilliant job in explaining the beautiful intricacies of the ancient world by logically explaining why Ram and Sita did what they did.
Its an amazing journey for anyone reading with a calm mind without taking in any offense. Although at some times, it feels like Amish is trying to force the current world views to try and logically explain certain parts, they are definitely vindicated by the fact that he is only interpreting his version of ramayana. For all we know, Valmiki was only an author who interpreted his version of the true story to us.
It is a piece of literary art and can be considered puttng up as our version of Ramayana instead of the old one.
Amish is great in articulating the story, and this is no exception. I, however felt there was too much fixation few things such as Lakshman's body build, etc (don't want to disclose for future readers) , also I think the writer should have taken the liberty to deviate from the base story line to make it intriguing. Plots where it has been taken like that of Roshni's, it looks to be same as some 90's bollywood plot. Also discussions on dharma I thought could have either referred the upnishad directly or be in form of some story rather than discussion. Also the incidents where Ram actually achieved the glory and public love is covered in a page or two.
All in all a good read, but certainly Amish can do much better.
When you grow up in India, one will hear many versions of Ramayan and Mahabharat. Personally, I have read Kamba Ramayanam and detailed version by C.S. Rajagopalachari. Amish's version of Ramayan might come as shock to those who have not read the Shiva trilogy before. With strong characters, main concept of human beings elevated by their actions to a "Mahadev" or "Vishnu" (continued from Shiva Trilogy), and portraying women as warriors (including Sita, & Parvathi), it is quiet different from usual stories that I heard growing up. I personally like the interactions of Ram with his Guru Vashista and later with Guru Vishwamitra, where they debate different forms of governance, merits and pitfalls of each. Cannot help myself, comparing Democrats vs. Republicans, very apt descriptions for each. A must read for every Indian.
The book was a good read as such but Amish could have avoided modifying historical events only for the purpose of creating an impact. For instance, replacing the plot of Sita’s Swayamvara with Arjun’s feat of shooting the Fish’s eye in Mahabharata was totally not needed. Even if he had stuck to the original plot of Ram breaking the bow, it won’t have made the story any less interesting. On the contrary, it might have made it better. One of the best things about Amish’s Shiva trilogy was that he had explained otherwise complicated and mythological events quite rationally without modifying key events from ancient history. I found that brilliance missing in this book.
There is a sense of deja vu in all of Amish's writing - a sense that you have already read what has been written. I would not recommend this book to people who are looking for the pacy, fluid narration of a mythological story of one of the original super heroes of the world. It may be a good read for young children to whom one wants to introduce the world of Indian mythology in a manner of contemporary writing. But here too, Amish falls short of expectations because the connect between accepted notions of the events in Ram's life, and what is written - is absent.
