    Gandhi’s book is a must-read for anyone interested in Mughal India. It sheds light on a forgotten chapter in history.

    A solid book, but not a page-turner. It felt more like a textbook than a biography.

    The book was well-researched, but I found it a bit dry at times. Still, a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Mughal history.

    Interesting topic, but the writing style was a little dry for my taste. I lost interest halfway through.

    The author clearly knows her subject. However, I would have liked to see more focus on Dara’s personal life.
