HEY,

I don't know how I stumbled upon this, but I can't stop since I started reading. I hope you do get the time to update soon.

Mahabharata is so beautiful in its complexity... I have always been looking for a novelization of the story.

Do you know any other novelizations or anything as such on your web? I love the details you have added to the story, making it come alive.

Thanks a lot for doing this and PLEASE update soon :)



Really appreciate this,

Randomer

Eeeeeeee, thanks for the feedback!

As for the update, I'm working on it. Right now one of my betas is swamped by real-life obligations and writing a graduate thesis, so I've decided to wait until she has time to respond to the chapters that I sent her, before updating again. ;)

As for other novelizations, Ramesh Menon wrote a great one, and so did Krishna Dharma. Much better than mine, obviously.

Thank you again!

I wish you can update soon

Hi. I followed your link from another blog doing another Mahabharata version. I really liked your take on the story, especially the character of Duryodhana. I hope you do update it soon though.
The last chapter showed a strength in Yadhishtira's character that was missing earlier. I would really like to see how his character unfurls as I feel that his character in your story has still not evolved to the awe inspiring "hero" of the epic (I don't know whether it happens or not in your version!!).
Best of luck!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad that you like it so far. And yes, Yudhisthira will definitely become a stronger character as time goes on... It just takes him a while to get there. ;)
