Note: I was traveling for the past two weeks and came back only on Monday so I started reading the book only on that day. I am supposed to put up the review within a week after receiving the book but I am not sure when I received it. Thus, I am publishing it today and hoping that it would considered valid. Also, I have not yet been able to finish the book because it is very involved. Thus, my review is based on the part I have read.

Exquisitely beautiful prose,nearly poetic in the feel, transports the reader to a magical world. It is no childish fiction and is not an unbelievable kind of story. It is a story which is very human, but it is an ethereal world. The story spans the time which usually escapes our attention when we think of Mahabharata. The story pre-dates the Great War, the life and times of the people who eventually will give rise to what we today call our nation, India. Highly recommended, enjoyable read.
