So glad I heard about this book. The books I'd read previously on Genghis Kahn gives one the impression he was really ruthless, but clearly there were aspects of him where he was much more liberal [in today's standards] to raise his daughters to be such competent and strong women who could manage whole regions and therefore maintain the grounds his sons and sons-in-law captured and conquered.Also glad to hear about the women and their relationships so far after Genghis Kahn and the very ending was a real ahah for me.I'll be circling back to [b:The Devil's Horsemen: The Mongol Invasion of Europe 153288 The Devil's Horsemen The Mongol Invasion of Europe James Chambers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1172249672l/153288.SY75.jpg 147971], to see what perspectives are changed as a result of this balancing of history.
