Raiders From the North| Alex Rutherford| Empire of the Moghul #1

The first installment in the Empire of the Moghul series: chronicling the rise and fall of the Moghul rulers of India. Begin with the Babur, who swept in from Central Asia to establish one of the most remarkable dynasties in known history.

My Review :

A fabulous book that holds the historical characters and events with magnificent and horrifying reality. When I started reading this book, I never thought I was going to love this book. If you never try the historical fiction genre, this book is a key, to begin with, more adventure than political affairs.

The first book that I read on Moghul's founder, Babur. This book not only tells the main historical occasions and experiences but gives a glimpse into Babur's thoughts, blending that well with fiction characters and events for gripping the reader's interest and nail in it. However, Babur's character is written in more heroic ways. The writer did not hide his wrongdoings. It was brief, but it was there.

Many new facts I come to know through this book. Babur sacrificed many things in his life to achieve his dream city and never gave up on his dreams even when there was no chance to accomplish them and try to learn from his failures. In his life, he is obsessed with the things he didn't get. Even his vital victory didn't beat that need.

The best thing is the author gives a detailed clarification like the truth of stories and where they pick them from the historical events and characters used in the book. The same goes with the fictional characters and events manipulation.

The author did thorough research on the content, and it can look in each custom to India's natural beauty and temple scrupulous and small details that are in a book.

Recommendation

• Read this if you like to read historical fiction.
• Only for adults. Book has a detailed war, adult words, and scenes.
• This book has a longer length to read.
• Some of the events and characters are fictional, don't read this if you want to read a pure historical book.
• If you know basic English you can pick this one. However, some words are used as per the period of that time.
• This book is more of an adventure trip than a romance. Just a pinch of romance with a touch of reality.
