I could ask myself why it took me so long to find this author, but that would be fruitless. And the point is, I've found him now. He has impinged so strongly on my reading-self that instead of my usual habit of reading books in a series over a long time (around all the other books I always want to read) I am getting the next one from the library immediately upon finishing the previous.

The constant time swap between the past and the present got a bit tiresome, and I found myself skipping the historical bits - mainly because the present-day story was more interesting. If the historical bits had been about half asd long I think it would have been atronger book. But certianly not a bad read at all.

A nice sequel to the first book "Pyre of queens". The present day story takes off from where it ended in the first book while the historical action takes place during the times of Prithviraj Chauhan and involves his struggle with Jaichand of Kannauj and Mohammed Ghori. But there is a marked shift from the first book as the historical action takes a back seat and the present day struggles of the characters occupy a major part of the story. Also the similarities with the Ramayana begin to become
