" Actually 3.5 stars. I didn't like this sequel quite as well at the first, because the character was less sympathetic, due to her motivation being power rather than love or kindness. Also, every now and then it would delve into reading more like a textbook than a novel, but fascinating nonetheless.

" The Empress Nur Jahan, an almost unknown historical figure, is brought to vibrant life in this novel. Sundaresan's research on the subject is extensive and the portrayl is fantastic.

" I'd rather give it 3.5 stars, but I did really enjoy it, so I decided to round up. Mehrunnisa isn't an endearing child anymore, so I found her a lot harder to understand as a character.

" I really enjoyed reading this sequel to The Twentieth Wife. It's a great time period to read about and I think Indu Sundaresan did a great job. I really like finding historical fiction that's not all about sex! Her writing is very clean.

" Not much time to review this. The first book (The Twentieth Wife) was a better plot, but the characters in this one are more clearly drawn and more realistic. Obviously the author used a lot more background sources, which enriches the text.

" Me gusto mucho mas que el primero, te deja impactado de la riqueza del imperio mogol, entiendes mas de su cultura y como historia es muy buena, a mi me enganchó desde el principio, pero que les puedo decir, me gustan las novelas históricas.

" The story of Mehrunissa, the 20th wife of a Mughal emperor. Slow but engrossing.

" This is the sequel to the Twentieth Wife about one of the great empresses in India in the 1600's. Fabulous story!
