Rise of Dharma by Semanti Chakraborty.

First of all let us take a minute and appreciate the author for writing such beautiful and interesting book making the righteous king yudhishthira as the centre character and giving us all an insight into the mind of the king whom Krishna supported much to make him the crowned King of hastinapura after the great kurukshetra war.

The story is very much is the epic, just from the least considered and most misunderstood character's perspective.

What could you possibly look for in this book?

-This book certainly develops a new perspective on the focused character in the book.

-Vivid Narrative style has made this book a bit more captivating read.

- The newly added details into the epic's underrated or less concentrated episodes made this more interesting.

- The usage of peculiar vocabulary is another thing that I really really liked.

- How the author has managed to develop a new perspective on the most misunderstood character, without damaging the original Mahabharata script is very very impressive.

I believe in the case of mythological retellings, details add life to the story. "The more, the merrier", and that is what exactly happened in the case of "rise of Dharma" as well.

Overall a very captivating and gripping read.

Do I recommend this?
Yes, whoever likes mythological retellings with detailed narrative shouldn't miss this book.
