The Tiger at Midnight by Swati Teerdhala

Both Esha and Kunal come to question their roles in their revolutions, their duty, and exactly how far they’re willing to go for their dreams.

This dual point of view story takes you into Esha and Kunal’s heads as they dream of revenge, righting wrongs, and filling holes in their hearts with grief and retribution. The Tiger at Midnight is a stunning debut fantasy book that will thrill you, make you scream, and wrench your heart. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from Edelweiss. 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. SummaryĮsha is a legend, but no one knows. Let me just start off this review by saying, please go pre-order The Tiger at Midnight because it is phenomenal, I haven’t heard enough buzz, and the spine is stunning.
