Well, this is one book that's been thoroughly satisfying. Very nice story-telling, and lovely flow. Generally, fiction books are littered with unwanted suspense just to divert the reader for no reason. I didn't come across any while reading this. Unputdownable! If it had been a North American book, it'd have been NY Times Best Seller.

The only thing that I didn't find comfortable with is the use of very difficult words that even Dan Brown and other popular authors seldom use for their fictit...

These Ten Kings are: Anu, Alinas, Puru, Bhrigu, Druhyu, Bhalana, Dasya, Matsya, Parsu & Pani. Last four are Mleccha (Barbaric foreigners) who came from Pariyatra Parvat Pass (called Khayber pass today). Odds are sta...
