Seems like author has done extensive research before writing this fiction. The dynasties mentioned comtemporary to mauryan empire were indeed ruling in other places.
The religious gurus and other members of the empire that I myself have been reading in my study books were mentioned .
Their characters were nicely developed. The backdrop of ancient Indian society is made visually easy to capture through his smooth effective narration with words that add to the beauty of the moments and flow.

A historic fiction novel that talks not only about a hypothetical inside situation of the great empire but it carries few beautiful message that intends the reader to think about age old religious practices , urges the reader to question themselves the basis and meaning of equality , peace , following a path of lifestyle and why to do so .
It is the first part of Ashok series .
The cover looks pretty relevant and bright and beautiful to capture our attention.
