I stumbled upon this book after hearing about its latest release from a friend. I've always been skeptical about Malay novels. I mean, I was born in the era of Ahadiat Akashah literatures, where all stories have no decent endings! I have the right to be skeptical. So I thread very carefully, and pick my malay novels very gingerly indeed.Ramlee Awang Murshid's books have never been my go-to choices as reading materials because he is mainly known as a thriller writer and I don't like thriller. I was pleasantly surprised by 'Bagaikan Puteri'. It was everything and more that I could have asked for in a story. It has a historical element (I'm a history nerd), a great hero, dynamic characters relationship and awesome story plot.I would have given this a 5 star easily if not for the slight abrupt ending. This book has a sequel so I think it will be explained in the next book but still, I think it wasn't an effective ending for a really good first book! Anyway, am surely going to be reading the whole of Hikayat Laksamana Sunan. Buku kedua tulisan Ramlee Awang Murshid yang aku baca selepas buku Rayyan Fantasi. Tertarik pada gaya penceritaan yang berlatar belakangkan kurun ke 15, disamping garapan unsur sejarah yang ditonjolkan oleh penulis. Aku seolah oleh terpengaruh dengan cerita ini sehingga berpendapat bahawa Laksamana Sunan benar benar wujud pada suatu ketika dahulu.Tak sabar untuk membaca sambungan buku ini.

A mind-blowing story. My 1st RAM's book and it was beyond expectation!
