   This Jesuit’s view on Emperor Jahangir is interesting, but can be dull at times. For those interested in history, I recommend.

   This book delivered an excellent deep dive into Mughal history from a different viewpoint. However, it may not appeal to everyone.

   Fascinating insight into the Mughal court! Be aware, however, that the Jesuit perspective is naturally opinionated.

   A well-researched book that gives a good account of the political climate of the time. Though I wished it had been less one-sided.

   The translation is excellent, and the historical details are rich. However, the Jesuit perspective can feel biased at times. Still, a valuable resource.

   An okay book. It wasn’t badly written, but didn’t hold my attention as much as I hoped. Interesting premise, though.

    A fascinating glimpse into Jahangir’s court through the eyes of a Jesuit. Some parts were a bit dense, but overall, a worthwhile read for Mughal history buffs.

    I found the book insightful, especially the descriptions of court rituals. The writing style felt a bit academic and dry for my taste.

    I liked learning about the Mughal court through the lens of a Jesuit priest. Some parts were confusing, but generally, I enjoyed it.
