  1. Maruthi Vasanth Tallapragada –

    I enjoyed learning more about Prince Salim’s rebellion. However, this volume felt a bit rushed compared to the others. Still, a valuable addition to the series.

  2. Muskan Gupta –

    Another great piece to read! The details around Ahmadnagar were awesome, and I also enjoyed learning more about Prince Salim’s rebellion. Highly recommended.

  3. Priya –

    Thackston’s translation is superb as always. The book provides amazing insights. Highly recommended for anyone into Mughal history. A bit dry at points though.

  4. Rahul Gitte –

    Excellent scholarship and a fascinating subject. Akbar’s story is always compelling, and this volume adds important context to his reign. Highly recommended!

  5. Niladri Paul –

    Not the most gripping read, but a solid and informative addition to the series. If you’re invested in Mughal history, it’s worth your time.

  6. Aditi Raizada –

    Another great volume in the series! Thackston’s translation is excellent. Some parts felt a bit dense, but overall, a worthwhile read for Mughal history buffs.

  7. Ayush Kukrele –

    Thackston’s translation is, as always, impeccable. The later years of Akbar are shown here and while intriguing are also sad to read. Still, a great book!

  8. Ashish Chahar –

    I found this volume a bit slow-paced compared to the others. The information is valuable, but it requires patience to get through it. A bit academic.

  9. Vansh Maheshwari –

    A detailed and scholarly account of Akbar’s later years. I appreciated the depth of research, but it’s definitely not a light read. Prepare to concentrate!

  10. Mrityunjay Singh –

    A valuable resource for anyone studying the Mughal Empire. Thackston’s work is always top-notch. I found the sections on Ahmadnagar particularly compelling.

  11. Gautam Garg –

    Fascinating look at Akbar’s later years. The details about Ahmadnagar were particularly interesting. It could get bogged down in minutiae at times, but still very informative.

  12. Sayan Patra –

    Interesting but not the most exciting read. It felt more like a textbook than engaging history. I appreciated the depth of research, though.

  13. Pulkit Bansal –

    A must-read for serious scholars of Mughal history. The level of detail is astounding. Some prior knowledge is definitely needed to fully appreciate this volume.

  14. Himanshu Kumar –

    While informative, this volume didn’t quite grab me like the others. Perhaps it was the focus on the decline, but it felt less engaging overall.
