Interesting but a Bit Disjointed
This book had some fascinating tales, but I found a few chapters a bit hard to follow. The way the stories are connected isn't always clear, which disrupted my reading flow. Still, I learned a lot about Indian history that I didn't know before.

Disappointed with the Writing Style
I really wanted to enjoy this book, but the writing felt uneven to me. Some stories were captivating, while others dragged on. I expected more depth from such interesting historical figures. Might not recommend it unless you're really into history.
