This book is perfect for every political science student/enthusiast, it was a deja vu and i found myself travelling back to 11th standard where I had pol science as a subject and this book immensely reminds me of the enthusiasm, knowledge and importance with which I was introduced the subject to back in 11th grade. Fantasy Prime Minister not only traces timelines but weaves such an intricate narrative that sitting in 2024, like a thrilling speeding car all your general knowledge/political knowledge will be refreshed before you know it. It was clearly reflecting throughout the book, the thought that went behind a smooth reading experience. Kudos to readable fonts and excellent paper quality. My only issue with the book is it's formatting, it gave a feel of a textbook more. I really really hope in the subsequent editions, the formatting turns more book like rather than academic text like. A book's richness exceeds expectations when the writing, statistical data and list of references are aligned and mentioned, which this book fulfills. My fellow book dragons, the author feeds our hunger with graphical and related data at the end which was a great addition and i feel will be personally appreciated by all readers.Building up right from the setting, to provoking the reader to think by asking some critical (important) questions throughout the book is what makes me appreciate non-fiction. Drawing on historical facts, education, political happenings, agriculture,defence system, culture and oh my! The historical quotes the book is for every humanities enthusiast. The parallels that the authors draw of the past and the present makes the book stand out and moving (paced) which naturally draws you in.Cheers to books that make us reflect.

I received and gone through Fantasy Prime Minister two volumes. Books are attractive. Information is more than expectations. I appreciate authors for gathering wonderful factual information which is very much useful to present and future generations. Expecting more varieties of books in future from authors. Thank you.
