Devoid of words, even the ones that I kept practicing over and over again, even the ones that I kept forming everyday during the unexpected seconds of the day when the book sparked in my memory, I may not give an exact review of this book, but I am here to write about how the book made me feel. A sudden wave of overwhelm took me over as I set out to write the review. Throughout the book, it was as though I was born from fire, married five men, felt strongly for one, went through humiliation, overtook completely by vengeance, exiled for 13 years, witnessed the painful war and the brutal deaths of my loved ones, died at the mountain holding onto the one who really loved me. This was what it made me feel. It made me form that invisible thread connecting Draupadi to Shrinidhi, taught me things from a perspective of that of a woman who lived an age ago, yet so relevant to what I experience today. All the flaws I possess, all the insecurities that hold me back, all the fear, all the ego, all emotions seem fair. For a queen with divine power and purpose or a young girl reading about it, seem to go through it all. All I wanted to say is, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, gave me a whole new perspective to the character that I've always loved the most, now that only making my love for her more stronger and deeper in relevance to me, she has bound us together, forever.
