‘I learnt to love like a man—to love without feelings. And I shall never forget this lesson.’

Matsyagandha, Daseyi, Yojanagandha — the queen of Hastinapur, Satyavati. Abandoned as a baby, preyed on by a rishi, she hardens herself, determined that the next time she is with a man, she will be the one to win. And win she does: the throne of Hastinapur for herself, and the promise that her sons will be heirs to the kingdom. But at what cost?

In a palace where she is disdained and scorned, Satyavati must set aside her own loss and pain if she is to play the game of politics. She learns to be ruthless, unscrupulous — traits that estrange her from everyone around. Everyone, except the man she cheated of his birthright.

A piercing, insightful look at the grand matriarch of the Kuru family, the woman who set off the sequence of events that ended in the bloody battle of Kurukshetra, The Fisher Queen’s Dynasty will re-align your reading of the Mahabharata.

Not a worthy reading at all...

Reviewed in India on 18 September 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the first time when I am reading a Kavita Kane's title.

But very dissapointed with the content. Evryone knows the Mahabharata. So what one can expect from this title is that a detailed perspective from the main character, Satyavatis's point of view with rich linguistic creativity. Rather we hv got some very ordinary english narrative.

There are many silly spelling mistakes which is the very proof of that someone is in hurry to make some bucks out of it. How come a book has been published without having detailed review and proof.

In several pages the plot has been lost inbetween lines.
Moreover she herself is confused in portraying the charecter of Satyavati.

A gripping experience, mythology at it's best

Reviewed in India on 18 October 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the story of Satyavati, born to a king, abandoned by him, who grew up as a fisher girl, then turned into a cunning lady willing to go any extent to become a queen and safeguard her progeny. The grand matriarch of the Kuru family, instrumental in starting the events leading to the battle of Kurukshetra. The story shows Mahabharata in a new light, the back story of one of the most important characters- Bhishm who was born as Devavrat, his life story and the role of Satyavati in it.
This book is mythology at it's best with exhaustive information and several intricacies minutely connected.
A must read for everyone.

Reviewed in India on 13 June 2018

The story takes you in a journey way before Mahabharat. Before Bhism was born and from there we follow these characters whose every step taken will help in make DEVABRAT as BHISM. We see the story from various point of view but THE FISHER GIRL, SATYAVATI, is the protagonist or one could say antagonist, which I could say as I really hated her.

I love BHISM. His portrayal was beautiful. His love for Amba made me swoon over him. However, the more I loved Bhism, the more I hate Satyavati. Of course, the Author intended that.

Characters I liked/loved-
1. BHISM
2. BAHLIK
3. KRIPI
4. KRIPA
5. VRIYA

Characters I hated-
1. SATYAVATI
2. SANTANU
3. SATYAVATI'S FATHER
4. PARASHAR

Beautiful cover and very well written

Reviewed in India on 21 March 2018

Verified Purchase

Beautiful cover and very well written. I felt for Devavrat (Bhishm), and in a way felt Amba's passion and agony too. The author has made him sound so handsome that I couldn't stop imagining him! As for Satyavati, the fact that she keeps 'her' dynasty going at any cost, even when the bloodline doesn't belong to the Kurus anymore, is an irony well brought out by one of her daughters-in-law, Ambika. While Satyavati is the ultimate epitome of ambition and ruthlessness, her husband, King Shantanu, is a perfect alter ego - an epitome of a lust-ridden and weak willed man. Another character who was wonderfully etched to life, was the King's second brother, Bahlik, who gives him such a tongue-lashing, for ruining his own son's life. He predicts the doom of Hastinapur and his dynasty and that is exactly was happens in the future. Despite, having three sons, his lineage dies out.

an entertaining tour-de-force

ever since I have started reading Kavita Kane's books, I have become a fan of hers. in January, I came to know that a new book of hers was released.....and finally in March. I finally laid my hands on it.
first of all, I would like to thank the author for providing me information about her beautiful work and for giving me an opportunity to give an honest opinion on the book. mythology is a critical subject and more critical is it's retelling as if you do not know the tale properly and cannot narrate it in a gripping way then the reader would not find it interesting. I feel it is just a cup of tea for Kavita Kane for retelling mythology.
the book is the story of Satyavati and along-side bhisma told in a new twisted and poetic way. the book focuses on lesser-known characters like uparichar Vasu- biological father of Satyavati, dasharaj- foster-father of mastyagandha, amba- princess of Kasi and nemesis of bhisma and finally the most beautiful of all Satyavati or mastyagandha or yojanagandha or daseyi, herself.
the best part of the book is its beauty in language and gripping narrative. I felt that the beauty of the language and strong vocabulary of Kavita mam makes the book, truly a "masterpiece". one cannot put down the book if you have started once. although the book is of 400 pages, you would at least two days if you are a fast reader- for completing the book, for you need to understand each line along with its difficult words.
for the narration, it is just mind-boggling. the way she captures each character and emotions in her pen would leave you enthralled.
the book is a fiction and it totally stands for its genre. you would read new tales like the panchals- the tale of ugrayudh paurav- the uncle of dhrupad, the matsyas- the tale of mastya and Vasu- the real family of Satyavati and the epilogue- the death of Satyavati.
another perk of the book is its philosophy. you would see a lot of beautiful ideas of philosophy hidden within tales. the way the fights- that are also metaphor like the blows of swords are compared blows on heart and mind and the other scenes are explained truly captures the full attention of the reader.
the ending is just mesmerising, the way the author makes it a conclusive one by explaining how Satyavati accepts the consequences of all her choices and does not believe in fate and finally she enters into ganga and dies by drowning-realising all her mistakes makes it hit the right note.
the book shows three phases of the woman- the first as a woman who used lust as her weapon, the second as a woman who has a cold and emotionless heart and finally a woman who has realised all her mistakes and is totally broken down by her choices. the book totally is a worth reading. and if you have not read it, it is totally your huge loss.
overall the book is in simple words a "masterpiece". the best of all of Kane's books. a perfect tapestry of myth and imagination.
imaginative. intrigue. intense.
I would recommend the book to all the mythology lovers and to everyone who loves fiction and I am sure they would love the gripping story.

Emotional Rendering of the Pivotal Character of Mahabharata

Reviewed in India on 16 August 2018

Verified Purchase

Mahabharata is an epic and this book is an emotional rendering of the pivotal character of Mahabharata. The book is crisp and to the point. In this massive epic, its easy to digress given the abundance of incident, but the author has avoided all that.

She has brought out the authoritarian as well as the soft side of Satyavati, a blend which probably catapulted her as the central character of Mahabharata, ultimately leading to the great battle. At places myths have been painted with a more practical approach.

A very gripping read and definitely recommended. More because mainstream Mahabharata speaks very little of this character.
