The Legend of Amrapali by Anurag Anand

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I liked this book for its fast paced narration. It is a quick read as I finished it in 2 days flat. Nothing much is said about her links to Bimbisara or Gautama Buddha except in a passing reference. The major focus was sort of fictionalized version of her overthrowing the Vaishali empire. Some inconsistencies are seen but generally to be overlook as this is complete fiction. Nice book as an introduction to Amrapali as most stories are only legends.
