I liked this even better than Raiders from the North. The writing was smoother and more skilled. We grew up with the notion that Humayun was the stupid one. He let his kingdom go, remained in exile all his life and died in a ridiculous staircase accident. Alex Rutherford has changed my entire belief. The depth of each character is truly commendable. Humayun's life is portrayed as a determined struggle to win back his empire. What is truly inspirational is the fact that he never lost faith in himself. His constant perseverance makes his years in exile an interesting one. Rutherford not only writes about war and politics but also deeply explores the various corners of the character's mind. Each action is a deeper reflection of his inner thoughts and inspirations. In totality, it is a beautiful read and I am totally hooked on to this author. Ruler of the World here I come!
