The vivid descriptions of the Taj Mahal and Mughal life really brought the setting to life. I'm curious whether the author visited India or did extensive research to craft this backdrop.

Their personal sacrifices and desires felt so genuine, making me wonder how much of their stories are inspired by real historical figures or purely fictional.

Balancing intimate relationships with sweeping history can be tricky — I wonder if that structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
