  1. Atul Budhwar

    Sealy’s ‘Asoca’ is a triumph! A masterful blend of history and fiction. The characters are compelling, and the story is unforgettable. Incredible.

  2. Ritik Karale

    A good attempt, but I found it a bit dry. The historical accuracy seems solid, but the narrative lacked the spark I was hoping for. Worth a read if you’re interested in Ashoka.

  3. Sailesh Pugalia

    A captivating journey into the world of Ashoka. Sealy’s writing is both informative and engaging. I highly recommend this book! Brilliant and well-researched.

  4. Prashant Tripathi

    Not bad, but not amazing either. It’s a good overview of Ashoka’s life, but it lacks the emotional depth I was looking for. Worth a try.

  5. Sonu Fugare

    Absolutely brilliant! Sealy’s writing is superb, and the story is incredibly engaging. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Indian history.

  6. T Raghu Yagnavalkya

    This book exceeded my expectations. A compelling narrative, rich in historical detail, and beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down! Wonderful.

  7. Shreyash Kashyap

    While the writing is good, the pacing felt off. Some parts were rushed, while others dragged on. Still, an interesting perspective on Ashoka.

  8. Abin Tom

    While informative, the book lacked a certain spark. I struggled to fully engage with the story and the characters. It was just alright for me.

  9. Shruti Jain

    I was expecting more depth. It’s an okay introduction to Ashoka, but it didn’t quite capture the complexity of his reign. Good, but not great.

  10. Sarvesh

    I found it a bit hard to follow at times. There’s a lot of historical information, but it wasn’t always seamlessly integrated into the story. Average.

  11. Mohit Verma

    Sealy delivers again! A beautifully written and meticulously researched novel. A must-read for fans of historical fiction. Loved learning about Ashoka.

  12. Aman Jaiswal

    I had high expectations, but I was a bit disappointed. The story felt somewhat superficial. An okay read, but not particularly memorable.

  13. Om Bikash Sahu

    It’s a decent book, but I found it a little hard to connect with the characters. The historical context is well-presented, though. A mixed bag.

  14. Athiksh C Rao

    An excellent book! I learned so much about Ashoka and his impact on the world. Sealy’s writing is captivating from beginning to end. Amazing!

  15. Harsh Yadav

    A fascinating portrayal of Ashoka’s life and times. The author’s research is evident, and the narrative is both informative and entertaining. Great book!

  16. Poojitha Matangi

    Sealy brings Ashoka to life! A bit slow in parts, but overall a captivating read. The historical detail is impressive. I enjoyed the philosophical insights.
