LANKA WILL BURN. DARKNESS WILL PERISH. BUT CAN LIGHT ENDURE? INDIA, 3400 BCE. Greed. Rage. Grief. Love. Smouldering tinder, waiting to trigger a war. But this war is different. This one is for Dharma. This war is for the greatest Goddess of them all. Sita has been kidnapped. Defiantly, she dares Raavan to kill her - she'd rather die than allow Ram to surrender. Ram is beside himself with grief and rage. He prepares for war. Fury is his fuel. Calm focus, his guide. Raavan thought he was invincible. He thought he'd negotiate and force a surrender. Little did he know ... The first three books of the second-fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history - the Ram Chandra Series - explore the individual journeys of Ram, Sita and Raavan. In this, the epic fourth book of the series, their narrative strands crash into each other, and explode in a slaughterous war. Will Ram defeat the ruthless and fiendish Raavan, constrained as he is by the laws of Dharma? Will Lanka burn to a cinder or fight back like a cornered tiger? Will the terrible costs of war be worth the victory? Most importantly, will the Vishnu rise? And will the real enemies of the land fear the Vishnu? For fear is the mother of love. Review: Gripping storytelling - As always, Amish delivers a gripping story. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the battle of Sigiriya, which were detailed, captivating and descriptive. This entire series has been a joy to read, envision and pour into. Review: Appropriate conclusion to a saga - Story telling is fast paced, however you will notice repeated excerpts across the chapters. Felt a bit hurried at the end. Should have included a map of Lanka …

Gripping storytelling
As always, Amish delivers a gripping story. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the battle of Sigiriya, which were detailed, captivating and descriptive. This entire series has been a joy to read, envision and pour into.

Appropriate conclusion to a saga
Story telling is fast paced, however you will notice repeated excerpts across the chapters. Felt a bit hurried at the end. Should have included a map of Lanka …

Loved the book
Loved the book and lot. As a young kid I grew up hearing stories of Ramayan and Mahabharath. It sets a different perspective on each of the characters. Nicely potrayed.

Like this more than the other three books in this series. Although I don’t yet yet understand why certain characters from Ramayana are portrayed completely different. Having read Original Ramayana, one can truly appreciate the glory of Ram only when they know how much they had to go through. To bring the beast to its knees isn’t a two day war episode. Still I enjoyed the book and relationship between the brothers.

A good interpretation of the tale
While it almost felt like a movie script, maybe the writer was going for that affect. Maybe some producer will pick it up as a movie. That said I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Even though at some places you think that's not possible, but hey, A for effort.
P**.
Long boring digressions
This tome contains many long boring digressions. The incessant concentration on rivers adds nothing to the story. Incredibly boring. The other long boring digression was the discussion about elites. Real pathetic. The ay this touches on current events is beneath this author. Not as good as the first two volumes.

Must read
Amish writing as always is a pleasure. I do feel that this book deserved more. It almost felt the book was completed in haste..almost like trying to teach philosophy through actions rather than enjoying the story itslef. Still i'll read it again

far less impressive compared to Shiva Trilogy
Author has taken too much liberty to mix modernity with period fiction Examples such as Biryani and Idli are not great to read in period fiction Book also feels rushed at few junctures such as last war
