Voldermort's Reincarnation 

I enjoyed this post because it put an "epic" twist on a story I was very familiar with. It was very fun that the author chose to write from the perspective of Padma Patil, to tie in the Indian culture. As I was first reading the introduction, I was unsure of how the Indian epics would be tied in. However, towards the end the author revealed the twist that Lord Voldemort was actually a reincarnation of an Indian epic. I thought the blog was well written and flowed nicely between stories. The introduction did a good job of explaining what the purpose of the blog was and setting up the rest of the story.

Battle Between Horses

This was a fun introduction to an Indian Epic that I was unfamiliar with. The flow of this blog was very easy to follow and kept things organized. I have never read the story of Nakula and Sahadeva, and I felt like this blog gave an exciting, thorough, and understandable look at a great story. It was cool that the author brought in some Greek mythology, expanding on and combining stories from various cultures. The flow of this blog gave a steady progression to the climax that made the entire story exciting and made me want to keep reading.

Stories of the Wild West

This was my favorite Storybook that I came across. I thought the author did a fantastic job of incorporating Indian stories in an American West setting. This Storybook showed how stories are universal and can be influential across all cultures. Basically, this blog showed that a good story is a good story, no matter its origin. I also enjoyed that the authors told different stories but interconnected them by telling them in the same world of Tombstone. The author of this blog did a wonderful job selecting and retelling the stories.
