|summary=Some interesting ideas and the making of a good story lie behind this book, but I can't genuinely recommend it as it stands. More work on the ideas could produce something really worth reading.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with books that cross genres. The best historical novels are as much history as fiction. However, it is a golden rule that a book must know who and what it is. One of the problems with The Royal Enigma is that it suffers from a serious identity crisis.
For more tales from this part of the world, [[The City Son by Samrat Upadhyay]] generates a similarly mixed response, more heartily recommended is [[The Gurkha's Daughter by Prajwal Parajuly]]
