Reviews
" Kaikeyi is complete with powerful women, court intrigue, magic, war with humans, fights with supernatural beings, familial and political tensions of the time when the world was composed of princely states. This will be a cherished addition to the Hindu mythology and retelling section in my home library."-- Nerd Daily, "A powerful examination of a woman maligned by myth and men. Patel's imagination takes a hammer to the image of a stonehearted villainess and reveals the woman within, whose choices sparked immortal legends. Compulsively readable and infinitely compassionate, this is the story I've been yearning for all my life."-- Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of the Aru Shah and Gilded Wolves series

Synopsis
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "MYTHIC RETELLING AT ITS BEST." (R. F. Kuang, author of Yellowface ) * A 2023 IGNYTE AWARD FINALIST * A BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB PICK "With a graceful, measured elegance" ( New York Times ), this lyrical novel reimagines the life of the infamous queen from the ancient epic the Ramayana, giving voice to an extraordinary woman determined to leave her mark in a world where gods and men dictate the shape of things to come. I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions--much good it did me. So begins Kaikeyi's story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on legends of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear. Desperate for some measure of independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. With this power, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most favored queen, determined to carve a better world for herself and the women around her. But as the evil from her childhood tales threatens the cosmic order, the path she has forged clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her family. Kaikeyi must decide if resistance is worth the destruction it will wreak--and what legacy she intends to leave behind. PRAISE FOR KAIKEYI "Patel resets the balance of power, creating an unforgettable heroine who understands that it isn't necessarily kings or gods who change history." - Washington Post "Easily earns its place on shelves alongside Madeline Miller's Circe ." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Utterly captivating from start to finish." Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart "Brave, compassionate and powerful." Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne "A lyrical and evocative retelling, full of power and grace." Ava Reid, author of Juniper & Thorn "Compulsively readable and infinitely compassionate." Roshani Chokshi, author of The Last Tale of the Flower Bride "A thought-provoking, nuanced new look at one of humanity's most foundational stories." --Shannon Chakraborty, author of The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi, AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "MYTHIC RETELLING AT ITS BEST."

- m***m (293)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaEverything about this transaction was perfect. I ordered the Heritage Press Call of the Wild. It was a great price, just as described, was packaged in plastic, which ended up being needed since it arrived on a rainy day. I also asked the seller to delay shipping since I was out of town. They kindly obliged my request. The book was inexpensive enough that factoring the shipping cost, was still a better value than other sellers providing free shipping. I will definitely buy from this seller again.
