The Twentieth Wife

I have mixed feelings about this book. I found the setting and the atmosphere of the book intriguing. Having been to India and seeing some of the old Palaces/forts this visuals were even more amazing.
The characters on the other hand were less likable. They weren't even really someone I wanted to hate. The main characters motivations seemed like a moving target (wealth and power, love, etc). It also ended very unsatisfying. I found this entertaining, but will probably not read anything else by this author.

I enjoyed this. In some ways this is a continuation of the [b:The Khan Series 5-Book Bundle: Genghis: Birth of an Empire, Genghis: Bones of the Hills, Genghis: Lords of the Bow, Khan: Empire of Silver, Conqueror 13573316 The Khan Series 5-Book Bundle Genghis Birth of an Empire, Genghis Bones of the Hills, Genghis Lords of the Bow, Khan Empire of Silver, Conqueror Conn Iggulden https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1355078822s/13573316.jpg 19154285] which i finished some time ago. The wars a maybe slightly less bloody and Sundaresan is concentrating on other things, such as politics and relationships, but I like the fact that there was and is a link to Ghengis. The Mughal Empire was the last great empire of that lineage. It is an Empire that you do not come across with in history lessons and the Taj Mahal trilogy will be an awesome way to dig deeper on that topic. And those who want a great love story (Not usually my cup of tea), well here is something for you.
