Write a reviewBeing a person who falls asleep on touching the history book, I have to say, this book was quite the opposite. The whole story line and the idea behind it was brilliant. And the twists...they were 😮 You literally had me awaiting each chapter. Overall the story was really good and I can't wait to read more of your work. Don't have any criticism per se but there is always room for some improvement and thus I'd give your work a solid 4.5 stars.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story, especially the twist at the end. It is evident that the author has put a lot of time and a lot of effort into this piece. It is amazing. You want to pick this book up if you like great literature and multi-pov reads. Its amazing and deserves every star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't remember reading anything that was closely related to History but this one had too many twists that I couldn't put the book down. Great Work! Waiting for more ...
For a History buff like me ; what if scenario was interesting. A intelligent take on the "what if" make it a worthwhile and riveting read. Impressed with the story flow ; lucid description and imaginary
I don't normally read historical fiction but it was a wonderful novella and I really enjoyed it. Nice continuity and great twist. You are an awesome writer and I hope to read more of your work
Awesome stuff man.. keep up the great work .... Waiting for more from you ..... All the best.... Glad to see a student write novels .... Such a great effort taken by you ... Very proud....
I enjoyed reading this!! The description and the story line flows well and the characters are too good. The plot is captivating and really interesting! Overall, I enjoyed the entire story and can't wait for more :D
Ok this book is a hidden gem. I really don't see why it doesn't deserve more views. The characters, the potrayal, the flow, the ideologies. It is less of a historical fiction and more of a thriller. And the twist ending, voilaaa! Its a really awesome time. I just wish it had been longer :D
The story has everything that I didn't expect it to. Its perfect, Whether it be the managing of ideologies and the mental framework of these truly dynamic characters, don't put this book down if you want to have a great time.
Throughout man's existence, there has been a pressing question that lurks in the crevice of everyone's mind.... "What if"? This book I believe has represented that question very well. The journey the protagonist undertakes, is similar to the one the reader does and there is not one dull moment. It is a remarkable novella promising more fabulous works from the author and is worth your time.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this stroy.. The characters were so descriptive that i could visualize them . The twists and turns were unperdictable and that kept me curious until the end. The climax had all the elements for a perfect climax. Ultimate twist. Keep writing such stories..
The idea of creating an entirely new timeline by changing just one variable has always fascinated me. This one variable, grows in front of our very eyes and stretches horizons into the horizon. A great read for anyone with a limited time and a great imagination.
This story was very well-written and I was invested right from the beginning. Though historical fiction is not a genre I usually read, I enjoyed this. But that ending....wow. That was definitely not what I expected. The Kohinoor's story is one I have always been obsessed with, the diamond being from the Kollur mines in the city of my birth and this 'what if' story based on the diamond was really good. The only problem I had was the minimal details in the beginning. Those readers who don't know the same version of events as the author, would be very confused as the lines vaguely allude to events that happened in real life, using characters who actually existed. People who don't know about those events would have to make assumptions or remain confused for a fair part of the story. All in all, I'd give this story 4 stars.
has a fantabulous plot and writing quality. will keep the reader on toes. the timing of revelations are spot on and the authors idea to give a twist to the history is magnificent.

Even for someone who is not a big fan of history, this thriller from a highschooler is gripping. A fine plot, brilliant narration, and entertaining characters. Certainly a must read.
