The second thing that I really liked about this book was the narrative now the Mahabharata is huge like we know that it's a huge epic so the way Chitra Banerjee has condensed all the events of the Mahabharata into this one book. We see her other sides as well we see the pain that she feels we see her sensitive side and we also see the side where she's just a woman who craves love so it's just really fantastic because you also go through the roller coaster of emotions that Draupadi feels in this book and I feel that Chitra Banerjee has done an amazing job in making us feel what these characters feel Now everyone knows that Draupadi was this really feisty very vengeful kind of character but that's not the only Draupadi that we see in this book He gave both the Pandavas and the koravas their good points and bad points and he did highlight each of their flaws and that's exactly what Chitra Banarjee has done in the palace of illusionsĮach character that she is portrayed in this book is not black or white but they all have a kind of grey morality and because of this she's highlighted their flaws and shortcomings also this entire portrayal of the Mahabharata feels very realistic and also very relatable especially when it comes to our main character Draupadi or as she likes to call herself Panchali The first thing I liked the most about this book was the characters now the way each and every character in this book has been portrayed was just so amazing how this is very similar to Jaya because in Jaya also I felt that David Patnaik didn't really like make any one person to be a hero and any one person to be a villain like To look at all the events of the Mahabharata from her point of view was something that I found very intriguing and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed at all because I really really loved this book
Palace of illusions is basically a Mahabharata retelling from the point of view of Draupadi, now just this premise itself had gotten me really excited about this book because honestly, Draupadi is one of the most fascinating characters in the Mahabharata
