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. ( )
