MY TAKE:
I'm stunned! I never thought a historical romance fiction novel could be so nicely inscribed. What an amazing and inspirational book! The book is full of dramatic portrayals and a striking plot that has you tingling for the next page. Once you proceed to read, you are greedy for more. The content is well researched and the information is gathered perfectly. This book is insightful, after reading this book I learned about the fierce queen named Maitreyi and her unforgettable story. If it wasn't for Mitali, I would've never read such an incredible tale of love. Tho right now this book is only available in Hindi, I think every Indian should read this book because it is so important for us to know about Maitreyi's story and remember her character forever. I know I'll never forget her.
HERE ARE 5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ MAHARANI MAITREYi:

ABOUT MAITREYI:
Maitreyi, who was educated by the Apsara of Indraloka himself and Kamadeva came to help him to get the boon. Maharani Maitreyi's character is not just restricted to beauty, it's one of the strongest female character I've ever came across. She's fierce, she's bold, she's also well educated and she's a warrior. Maitreyi is the real defination of beauty with brains. She's so brave that it scared me at times. She is like Arjuna from mahabharat, she had a clear vision of what she wants. Maitreyi knew what she was doing. Maitreyi only dreamed of becoming the ideal queen. The burden of stopping that insidious king Suryavadana fell on his delicate shoulders.
