Ashok Banker continues the Ramayana series with the tale of Rama’s sons, the mighty Sons of Sita in this epic retelling of Indian mythology.
Summary of the Book
Rama has done the unthinkable. He has banished his beloved Sita to the forests, where she lives with the sage Valmiki. Rama pines away for Sita, but he cannot ignore his duties to his people as their king. The years pass and he decides to hold a great yagna to commemorate his victorious reign. The Ashwamedha Yagna is a grand festival, where the organizer releases a mighty horse that runs free. All the land covered by the horse is declared to belong to the organizer, and those who stop the creature will have invited his wrath upon them. As the horse races through the woods of Ayodhya, it encounters two young boys who stop it in its path. They refuse to listen to Rama’s brothers who ask them to release the horse or risk war with Rama himself. However, the boys are obstinate in their stance. The mighty Rama comes to them to wage war, but he is yet to realize that these brave and tenacious boys are none other than his sons, the sons Sita bore him in the forest during her exile. Can Rama recognize his heirs in time to stop the battle or will he destroy his legacy with his own hands?

A -Not-So-Great ending to an otherwise GREAT series
The Sons of Sita is the story of Luv and Kush and their exploits.
The series was ended in the 'King of Ayodhya' series. But it was followed by 2 more books in the series promising answers to many unanswered questions. The 1st book - the Vengeance of Ravana' lived up to the expectations in creating a great plot but this book failed to lived up to th...

Tacky Add-on to an epic series
Bu this book feels like a tacky add on and out of place with the rest of the series. Sure Ashok Banker is a good writer but this book wont lewave you feeling as satisifed as the first 7 books. Get it if you read the first 7 books and wanted one more book. Just dont expect the same level of awesomeness.

Great Book , Epic re-told in Titanic proportions.
I believe that no matter who re-writes this Epic it will always be
a great read.I must thank Mr Banker for making these Titans of
Indian writings,these Sacred scriptures available for reading
in English and so well written !!
I still feel his first Books Prince of Ayodhya stands really tall,
tall among-st all these Titans of Books.
A changed Rama we see,that is being separated from Sita.
A beautiful Book.

Good book.
Bad: Length
As the logical conclusion of the Ramayana series, this book is a must read.

Not in the same league as earlier books of the series
There is nothing at the end ... Ram is shown as falling/ failing very soon while the 90% of the book builds up to the supposed climax.
Honestly - if you have purchased every single volume (Like me) and are looking at buying it for completing the collection - DONT! Not worth the time or money.
