The characterization of Kamsa was the one of the few things that made me put this book down multiple times. Will the reader grasp the concept of evil only if it is a gross asura? does all of evil look a certain way? In the end, the author does clarify that the grossness was due to a potion, but the damage according to me was done. It was like a feast that was so heavy that it puts you off of all future feasts. If not for my obsession with Krishna's stories I wouldn't have bothered finishing half of this book, let alone finishing it.
