My Thoughts:

The story is very engaging. I liked the journey of Gavi, his transformation from a simple innocent boy to a King was very intriguing. 

I liked the writing style of the author it has the capability of keeping the readers guessing what is going to happen next. The language used is also very simple but vivid which is the specialty of the book. The readers will find it easy to go through the book.

The narration was good  and the scenes portrayed were excellent. One could actually feel as if it actually happening in front of your eyes.

The characters were well developed but as I progressed into the book I thought that there were a lot of characters. Due to so many characters it is a possibility that the readers might get confused. But all had their own role to play which makes them justifiable. 

The plot is very interesting and will keep the readers engaged till the end. The writing pace was also good it was apt as per the requirement of the scenes. 

Overall, I would recommend this book to all the historical fiction lovers.

My Rating: 5/5

Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people.

However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
