Summary

Lanka will burn. Darkness will perish.

But can light endure?

India, 3400 BCE.

Greed. Rage. Grief. Love. Smouldering tinder, waiting to trigger a war. But this war is different. This one is for Dharma. This war is for the greatest Goddess of them all.

Sita has been kidnapped. Defiantly, she dares Raavan to kill her—she'd rather die than allow Ram to surrender.

Ram is beside himself with grief and rage. He prepares for war. Fury is his fuel. Calm focus, his guide.

Raavan thought he was invincible. He thought he'd negotiate and force a surrender. Little did he know....

The first three books of the second-fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history—the Ram Chandra series—explore the individual journeys of Ram, Sita and Raavan. In this, the epic fourth book of the series, their narrative strands crash into each other and explode in a slaughterous war.

Will Ram defeat the ruthless and fiendish Raavan, constrained as he is by the laws of Dharma? Will Lanka burn to a cinder or fight back like a cornered tiger? Will the terrible costs of war be worth the victory?

Most importantly, will the Vishnu rise? And will the real enemies of the land fear the Vishnu? For fear is the mother of love.

Contains an exclusive bonus chapter, read by Amish, to recap everything that has happened in the Ramchandra series before War of Lanka.

Interesting Listen

This was a very interesting listen. The background music was very nice when it came to providing highlights to dialogues, esp bet Sursa ,Hanuman, Arishtanemi, Barath vs Lakshman. Closing my eyes and listening, I could see the scenes in my mind. But the same background score, gets irritating in the battle scenes n pushpak viman scenes. It's makes the narration difficult to be listened to. nevertheless I enjoyed the rendering ❤️

The background music is a disaster

The first three volumes of this series were amazing to listen to, and I was really looking forward to the final audiobook. Alas, in a fit of madness, the producer has decided to have incessant continuous music in the background of the narration which is annoying and distracting. God only knows what they were thinking, but I have returned this audiobook to Audible, and I hope they will never impose this pain on anyone trying to listen to the book in the midst of completely misplaced and irritating background music.
I look forward to purchasing and reading the book, and hope they can either solve this by removing the music, and most certainly never add these type of sound effects to any narration.

Good

The narrator kept mispronouncing the word ‘corps’ throughout the narration and that was bothersome but that’s just me. There were a few others mispronounced words but it wasn’t as jarring. Otherwise it was fine.
I enjoyed the audible books narrated by the previous person for this series. The music and background noise initially was distracting in this latest book but i got used to it and eventually.
The story was interesting. The bit about the virus seemed a little overdone but I guess the author wanted to add an element that was relatable to the world today.
