The Tiger at Midnight

I may have postponed reading this book for almost an year despite being very excited for it, but I'm glad I finally had the chance to read it now. It was the exact kind of fun fast paced YA fantasy I needed during these anxiety inducing times.

I really liked Kunal and Esha as characters. Their cat and mouse chase, banter, a bit of a slow burn relationship development was all a lot of fun to read. I also thought they both were great individually, with their own values and convictions, and how understanding each other changed them was written beautifully. The plot is also very fast paced, with something happening and unraveling all the time, and the author's use of short chapters also kept the tension going. I also listened to the audiobook in parts and thought the narration was excellent.

Now I know why all my friends love this book so much and I'm actually happy that I only have about a month to wait for the sequel's release. I hope that one will turn out to be as lovely as the this super entertaining debut.
