The Tiger Queens: The Women of Genghis Khan
Readnmachine avatar reviewed on + 1474 more book reviews


Interesting historical fiction about the women of Genghis Khan's family, with many characters based on historical figures. The wives, daughters, and extended family members of the famed conqueror carry the action here.

Things tend to bog down a little after Genghis' death, when his surviving sons and grandsons battle for control of the empire, and the reader may have problems at that point remembering who all the characters are.
