Story
The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’ Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

Story
India, 1025 AD. Repeated attacks by Mahmud of Ghazni and his barbaric Turkic hordes have weakened India’s northern regions. The invaders lay waste to vast swathes of the subcontinent—plundering, killing, raping, pillaging. Many of the old Indian kingdoms, tired and divided, fall to them. Those who do fight, battle with old codes of chivalry, and are unable to stop the savage Turkic army, which repeatedly breaks all rules to win. Then the Turks raid and destroy one of the holiest temples in the land: the magnificent Lord Shiva temple at Somnath.

Story
The story of the Ramayana had been told innumerable times. The enthralling story of Rama, the incarnation of God, who slew Ravana, the evil demon of darkness, is known to every Indian. And in the pages of history, as always, it is the version told by the victors that lives on. The voice of the vanquished remains lost in silence. But what if Ravana and his people had a different story to tell? The story of the Ravanayana had never been told. Asura is the epic tale of the vanquished Asura people, a story that has been cherished by the oppressed outcastes of India for 3,000 years.

Publisher's Summary
Without the darkness, light has no purpose.
Without the villain, what would the gods do?
India, 3400 BCE.
A land in tumult, poverty and chaos. Most people suffer quietly. A few rebel. Some fight for a better world. Some for themselves. Some don’t give a damn. Raavan. Fathered by one of the most illustrious sages of the time. Blessed by the Gods with talents beyond all. Cursed by fate to be tested to the extremes.
A formidable teenage pirate, he is filled with equal parts courage, cruelty and fearsome resolve. A resolve to be a giant among men, to conquer, plunder and seize the greatness that he thinks is his right.
A man of contrasts, of brutal violence and scholarly knowledge. A man who will love without reward and kill without remorse.
This exhilarating third book of the Ram Chandra series sheds light on Ravaan, the king of Lanka. And the light shines on darkness of the darkest kind. Is he the greatest villain in history or just a man in a dark place all the time?
Listen to the epic tale of one of the most complex, violent, passionate and accomplished men of all time.

waste of my precious credit
Here's a numbered list for why this book is really bad.
1. the dialogues are extremely repetitive. if I had a penny for everytime "Raavan raises his hand to stop the conversation" I would be uncle scrooge right now.
2. the plot is extremely nonsensical. Amish now does plot twists for only shock value. Abandoning the theme of the characters and making them behave in the extreme opposite way to what they were throughout the series.
3. ruins the mythological elements of the book by making extremely preachy points about modern day politics.
4. Amish in completely in over his head when it comes to depicting Raavan. he waters down one of the most magnanimous anti heroes to ever exist into a drug and alcohol addicted mess.

Story Backwards
The story is so boring. It doesn't move forward, only backwards. And still no satisfying conclusion. Shiva Trilogy was way better. This series is stretched out for no reason.

Good listening experience
Know the story of Ravan from different perspective. To know him you have to first unlearn what you know and learn his stories. Very logically explained events and encounters. Reasoning given through conversation on Dharma, Ayyappa Temple, Sita’s etc birth are excellent. Broadened my horizon. 5 starts for Amish and Sagar Arya ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting story and great narration
An very interesting take on Raavan’s story where Raavan and Kumbhakarna are pictured as much more humanly than are often told in other tales. The story does take some artistic liberties and digresses from then actual myths, but overall its not bad.

Poor storyline and mediocre narration
I tend to benchmark fantasy fiction with my favorite author Brandon Sanderson's books and narration of the legendary Michael Kramer.
Story: Amish gained a massive popularity for putting a modern take on Hindu legends. In Raavan his formula appears stale and a little underwhelming. He tries to shoehorn some modern technologies in ancient legends to bridge gaps and make the tales a bit more, say, logically palatable. He lost me in this book where he tries to humanize Raavan, showing he could have been a better man but society pushed him to be bad. He tries to rescue the soul of the mythical demon king Raavan's character in his book. He tries to humanize the character of Raavan as a brilliant person who just lost his way due to parental and societal pressures. His character of Kumbhakaran is also of a well meaning, childlike side kick for Raavan v/s the indomitable raakshas that we have known him to be. Amish is also not good at building a deep storyline that can be gripping or getting you involved in an emotional level. His style of writing is yet to mature and evolve from his earlier books.
Narration: The narrator does a decent job at voicing the deep baritones of a manly man like Raavan, you can almost believe it is Raavan. Alas, his range doesn't expand much from here. His renditions of Raavan, Kumbhakaran and other male characters is very very similar. He reduces his emotion, assertiveness and volume a bit to match that of a key female character like Vedavathi which again shows the lack of range in his voice acting.
tl;dr: A decent storyline and an okay narration to listen to while doing dishes or going on a walk. Not something you will yearn to listen to.

Another Cliff-hanger
Everyone knows the story of Diwali, in where good "Ram" faces off bad "Raavan", but how many of you know the real reason why "Raavan" kidnapped "Sita" and the true image and character of the so call "10 headed demon"? Amish truly brings out this definition of the King of Lanka, with the love, pain and struggle he goes through the years and makes to think twice of the whole "good vs. bad".

It's a different perspective of Ramayan. the way it's narrated it's too good. I loved it and strongly recommend.
