I love the art work of Amruta Patil. This book is full of gorgeous art work.

I started reading this as I want to introduce Mahabharata to my son in the bedtime stories. I realised I didn’t know much of the work in detail. So this book is my way to get my journey started into this epic.

Adi Parva sets a good context, introduces to the backstories of various characters of Mahabharata. Somehow I felt it was a slog to finish this book even though the art is stunning. I wish the story could have been narrated better, but that is a minor quibble.
