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.
