Book 1 of the Moghul series, part of my about India / Indian authors reads this year. Growing up in India, Moghuls form part of our History syllabus. However, the information contained in those books is quite superfluous and very biased. Hence, it was refreshing to read a third party account of the Moghuls. ( )

Finally got around to finishing this book. It took me several attempts to get into it. The subject matter was so interesting to me I thought this would be a great read, but alas, the author just didn't pull it off. Reading this was like wading through mud. difficult and rather boring. Pity as the historical background is rich fodder for a novel. ( )
