Liked the book - it is simple, it is educative while being entertaining. Two stories 2300 years apart and yet to similar keep you engaged through out this 450 pages long novel. Chanakya is a fascinating character who has been simply explained in the story and its modern day adaptation. Chandni Gupta takes the place of Chandragupta maurya in the modern day tale of Chanakya.
Author has two novels that meet in the end. Read it for Chanakya an his relevance even today.
