The ending of Oath of Vayuputras left me broken 💔

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

I agree! 😭

[@arundhateetripathy365]

Yes I also agree that Amish stretched the third book( the oath of the vayaputras) telling a lot about somras but I love Amish's book (he is my fav author)😁😁

[@Amndayell]

Thank you so much for these recommendations. You’re the third person I have found that recommendeds the Palace of Illusions. I’m definitely going to add it to my list. And I also fully love more South Asian mythology. Also your Greek selections are great. Circe ❤❤❤❤

Thank you 🥹❤️ Please do read Palace of Illusions. It's one of the best out there 🥰

[@ranjithabm4837]

That means a lot to me. Thank you so much 😍❤️

[@neelabhparmar9551]

A big fan of Shiva trilogy , Percy Jackson Original series and Circe. On the mythic fiction genre try checking Shatrujeet Nath's Vikramaditya Veergatha Series and Alexandra Bracken's Lore. Both are delight to read. Lore is what would be an adult version of Percy Jackson while Vikramaditya Veergatha is close to Amish's work with lesser philosophy and more action and world building.

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

Ooh Shatrujeet Nath's series is on my TBR! I read his latest book recently and was blown away. Can't wait to get started on Vikramaditya Veergatha series! 😊 Lore sounds super interesting too. Thank you for the recs! 😊

[@icamultimedia7970]

Amish's Ram Chandra Series is alsoo Amazingg!🤩..Have you read it?

Circe and song of Achilles are my all time fav..have you read penelopiad by Margret Atwood ?it's the story of Odysseus and Penelope from Penelope's perspective.its such a hard hitting book..Happy Diwali😊

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

Could you please give the links of all books mentioned in the video in the description, I would be thankful ❤️❤️

[@gunjanlahoti1257]

I think the ram series is better than shiva trilogy. i have read all the books in both except i am halfway through oath of vayuputras.

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

I do agree with that assessment 😄 Did you end up finishing it?

I would love if you could review " Asura " by anand neelakandan... Thank you for these Recommendations!!!

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

My pleasure! 🥰 I actually read Asura a couple of years ago, but wasn't a huge fan. Will have to reread to do a full review though. Let me know if you want me to do it and I will pencil it in for early next year. :)

[@57mahalakshmi]

@@TheMelodramaticBookworm I had mixed reviews about the characters!!! So, thought of knowing your opinions about this mythological fiction.

[@Mxe00.]

@@57mahalakshmi Actually Immortals of Melhua and Voyagers of Hell are the must read.

Ma'am, are these books beginner friendly? How easy is the language of the books?

Sorry for the late response. Yes they are ☺️

[@oorjashetty]

Oh I thought you would include AJAYA by Anand Neelkanthan as well

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

I haven't read it. 😊

[@oorjashetty]

@@TheMelodramaticBookworm oh please read Ajaya 1 and 2. Amazing retelling of mahabharata from Kauravas point of view

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

Sure! Thanks for the recommendation 😍

[@oorjashetty]

@@TheMelodramaticBookworm anytime! 😊

[@Mxe00.]

@@oorjashetty Actually 'Asura' and 'Voyagers of Hell' are the best fiction books.

[@proudindian3667]

Draupadi is a central character in mahabharat, sorry but please get your fact right, she is not just a character in the background!

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

First of all, I meant that Draupadi (and women during those times) were seen as not having anything to do when in fact they played huge roles. I was talking about a patriarchal perspective in which they ARE SEEN AS A BACKGROUND CHARACTER. Why would I push a woman character to the back? Please watch it and understand the context I said it in. And secondly, if you're putting out an opinion, the least you can do is be polite. You could have asked what I meant. You don't have to attack everyone on the Internet. :) Peace!
