The Tiger at Midnight by Swati Teerdhala

So is this the part where people to tell me not to read reviews and ratings of diverse books? I think so, because this book was actually really good. “Never greet a tiger at midnight, for they are the manifestations of your past misdeeds.” Publication Date: April 23rd, 2019 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books Series: The Tiger At Midnight #1 Rating: Links: Amazon/ Book Depository/ Goodreads Drawing inspiration from ancient Indian history and Hindu mythology, the first book in Swati Teerdhala’s debut fantasy trilogy captivates with electric romance, stunning action, and the fierce bonds that hold people together-and drive them apart. As the bonds that hold their land in order break down and the sins of the past meet the promise of a new future, both rebel and soldier must make unforgivable choices. Both the Viper and the soldier think they’re calling the shots, but they’re not the only players moving the pieces. Then Esha’s and Kunal’s paths cross-and an unimaginable chain of events unfolds. His uncle, the general, has ensured that Kunal never strays from the path-even as a part of Kunal longs to join the outside world, which has been growing only more volatile. Kunal has been a soldier since childhood, training morning and night to uphold the power of King Vardaan.

She’s devoted her life to avenging what she lost in the royal coup, and now she’s been tasked with her most important mission to date: taking down the ruthless General Hotha. It’s only in the shadows that she moonlights as the Viper, the rebels’ highly skilled assassin. A cat-and-mouse game that can only end in bloodshed.
