I had a great time with the book! It has lots of hot and heavy scenes and an interesting story. I recommend it as a great escape book to read. Fun!

The writing is terrible! Ameteur writing and lax contunuity to the story. For example, in one paragraph the author switches from calling sarong a sari and doesn't explain the difference between the two.
This borrowing of Hindu mythological figures and terms is extremely confusing as it is neither explained nor based on actual mythology.

This intriguing story quickly engaged me in an ancient world where the gods of India take on human form, promise mortals peace and prosperity, then wreak havoc on them. Heir to Govandhara took me on a thrilling and suspenseful journey into that world, which the author filled with the rich and exotic textures of Indian culture and myth. I found the experience both compelling and beautiful...

Heir to Govandhara, Saira Ramasastry's debut novel is both thought provoking and entertaining. The book's plot is beautifully crafted and highly original, and it keeps the reader guessing until the very end. In Heir, Ms. Ramasastry has created characters of surprising depth and complexity. It is truly fascinating to witness their emotional and mental development as the story unfolds. Upon reflection, I believe that this especially pertains to the story's central character, and my personal favorite character, Sri. Throughout the course of the story, Sri develops from a simple and naïve young girl into a sensual, mature and worldly young woman. During her journey from girl to woman, Sri experiences many difficult and complex emotions. Ms. Ramasastry has a real knack for conveying these raw, often disturbing emotions quite subtly and efficiently. Therefore, the reader is able to truly appreciate the power of Sri's transformation and the beauty that can be found in her strength of character. Often sensual and sexy, always beautiful and poetic, Heir of Govandhara is a true masterpiece. After reading this novel, I cannot wait to read Ms. Ramasastry's future works.

It's been a long time since a book moved me. HEIR TO GOVANDHARA did just that. It grabbed me and kept my emotions on high. I also had about twenty questions that I emailed Sara Ramastry and she answered every single one. Most authors don't do that.
