The art is wonderful, and it seems like most of the dialogue was directly from the translations of Valmiki Ramayana and from C. Rajagopalachari's Ramayana. It's not really written from Sita's perspective- it would be more accurate to say that this was what Rama/any onlooker imagined Sita was saying/feeling. It would function as the Ramayana itself in the form of a graphic novel; calling it Sita's story is a little misleading. ( ) no reviews | add a review

In an ancient age, when gods and goddesses walked with mortals......Sita is the kind-hearted and intelligent princess of the kingdom of Videha. Married to Rama, prince of Ayodhya, her journey in life takes her from exhilaration to anguish.Along the way, she has to leave behind the luxury of royal comforts and live the simple, harsh life of a forest dweller, where danger is lurking in every shadow.Ensnared in the evil plans of the wicked demon-king Ravana, Sita is abducted and hidden away in Lanka. Will Rama muster up a strong army to rescue Sita from the demon's clutches? Will Sita return to Ayodhya to become queen of the land... or is she destined to be mistrusted and live alone for the rest of her life?Adapted from the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana, this is a touching tale of love, honor, and sacrifice that reveals one woman's shining strength in an unforgiving world.
