Oof, this is a beefy story. Elizabeth Seeger has gone more in depth in this telling of the Mahabharata than I would've expected. This was a really interesting read having already gone through two version of the Mahabharata. This edition definitely had the strongest character development as well as allowed the greatest amount of access alignment. Seeger really gave the reader the chance to get into the mental states of the Pandu brothers, reading into their turmoil, motivations, and follies. I am very excited to see how the end of Bhishma and Drona come about in this story, as Seeger infuses such life into her writing. I feel those moments will be very heavy and lead to no small amount of introspection.
