4.0

I picked this book up mainly due to the attractive cover and it has not disappointed me. This book is about the founding of modern day Singapore which was known as Singapura in ancient times. The author's command over the language is wonderful and I really loved the way the story was narrated through the eyes of the main protagonist,Sang Nila Utama. This book is fascinating and we get to delve into the ancient world of maritime kingdoms,trade routes and politics. The characters of the book are deep but mostly male dominated. The descriptions are vivid along with wonderful story telling and prose. Overall,an enthralling and enjoyable read.
