Fantastically graceful! What a story! Not only its romantic, but also adventurous, suspenseful, and beautiful. Its the most adventurous story by the author, at least among the ones I have read. It can be defined as political drama. Prospective king against his vicious brother, and a third party hero coming in aid and got struck in the middle of everything. I liked the characterizations, environmental descriptions, plot, progress and ending.
It might be inspired by The Prisoner of Zenda, but in its own right the story is masterpiece.
This is the first historical romance book that I have read till now. I faced some difficulties to read it because of its complex Sadhu writing style. However, the language barrier can't depict that it is a masterpiece. While reading the book, I suddenly remembered the Salman Khan movie "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" and understood that it took inspiration from it. Got it from the librarian's recommendation, really thankful to him. If any of you have read the book then i want to have a honest take about the climax as i didn鈥檛 quite resonate with the ending. 5/5 Book 馃
