Nope, not this one!
Mythology is the best place to take inspirations for any literary work because it gives you the freedom of interpreting the essence of myths from various point of views.
This one takes inspiration from Mahabharat and tries to tell the story from Draupadi's point of view. It doesn't matter how a reader connects with the original character, the retelling can't be the rephrasing of the whole plot. Which unfortunately is true in this case.
The whole books doesn't really offer a new perspective on Mahabharat but just tells the same story with Draupadi mostly adding the ambience (hills, palace, trees, garden etc). But this is a common pitfalls for the authors retelling the stories, when the original is so profound.
It might be slightly different in case of unknown ones from different countries or cultures but that is not the case here.
Maybe not worth reading if you know the original one.
Love
