Good lord. I did not expect this to be anywhere close to being as amazing and gripping as it was! Almost every single tale is gripping, awe-inspiring, nail-biting, interesting, introspective and a brilliant reflection of society's mores in different periods of Tamil Nadu's history. Sure, not all tales are epic - there are a couple duds that did not particularly speak to me, but I can appreciate them all the same.So, overall, highly recommend.
