Some books are unique and they deserve to be reviewed and appreciated. Well, coming to this book, I instantly fell in love with the mesmerising cover of the book. The way the colour pattern of readdish orange with a tinge of yellow is there, makes it remarkable. It reminds us of the time when the sun is about to set. Then there is a pocture background of a palace that adds life to it.

The title of the book is intriguing. It takes us back to the pipeline of Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens who always wrote about the conditions of England but its just a memory, not the similar story. The title talks about another tale of Two cities that has some relevant significance.

The plot of the novel is mindblowing. It revolves around two kingdoms, Angkor Wat and Ankor Thom who are at war. Its a quest for botht he princes who wants to win the heart of princess Mandagini. The plot construction is done in such a way that all the attention is given to the themes of the novel which includes, society, religion, love and many more.
