The Eighth Baby: They were very nonchalant about killing seven babies. It seems many of the characters follow a similar theme, with them being very nonchalant about death, yet extremely passionate about carrying on the family legacy.
At first I did not think I was going to like Bhishma, but he quickly grew on me as he was sticking to his vow. Though all the things that followed because he stuck to his vow were a bit odd. The whole page about the fish smell and how a fish/human hybrid baby was born, except the only trait of a fish that she kept was the smell. It seems like for my own stories I could get a little more outlandish. I also laughed out loud whenever Vyasa said he needed a full year to prepare for sex.
I had anticipated more of an emphasis on Vidura, but they chapter ended with the emphasis on the Padavas and the blind kings many sons
So far this is very different from the Ramayana as so much happens in very few lines. Praying to gods seem to usually end with a powerful child. It is also random as to when a curse will happen or something good will happen. For the story I write, I definitely want to slow it down a bit and emphasize only a few characters to give readers a better idea of how I see each character.
Bhismas death is not elaborated on but seems very interesting.
Enter-The Players: The names of everyone and trying to remember who was who and how they were related became a bit difficult here. So far there definitely seems to be family drama that could be elaborated on in a story.
House of Joy and Ashes: Im glad to see Vidura come back. I cannot tell if the Padavas are cocky or just very charismatic people. I mean they are the best of the best so I can see where the jealousy of them come from. Maybe not enough to kill them, but I mean that has even happened in present day.
Bride for Five: Once again I am confused. Bhima killed a demon and then the demons sister falls in love with him and they have a kid? I will either be writing an insane story with lots of weird stuff like this, or make a more cohesive story of one of them.
