This is book four in the brilliant Stags series and I am absolutely loving this whole series. This book is a little different from the previous books as this is mostly set in India this time. It includes all the previous characters but not the school as much.
I devoured the majority of this book in a day it was just brilliant. Within it flicks back to the past for half the story through diary entries of a weekend of hunting, shooting and fishing that changes everything they knew. Parts had my jaw dropping. Very unexpected! And the ending I am hoping was like that to lead into the next book. Fingers crossed. Praying to God. I need the next book. Please.
A brilliant YA series that has me hooked. I never want it to end. Amazing. A well deserved five stars from me. Highly recommend the whole series to you all. A must read series.

At first I was unsure on how I felt with such a large portion of the book being in the perspective of Shafeen's father, but I really loved having the backstory. It was great to have some things confirmed by the character himself rather than assumptions. Although I saw the Aadhish/Rollo plot coming, I wasn't sure if it would be explored in the way it was and it was a welcome plot to explore.

I love that Bennett never steps back from confronting the racism and historical racism throughout institutions such as the ones she writes about. The continuing theme of humans being complex, not just good or just bad, is as present as ever and done in a great way.

I am continuing to really enjoy the S.T.A.G.S. series, and am about to go onto the fifth and final installment - H.A.W.K.S. and as sad as I am to come to an end, I am very excited to see where our favourite band of outcasts will take us next.

This Series is heating up and when I realised that I was missing the last book in the series I knew I needed to get it after finishing this one and discovering the final Cliff-hanger that awaited me. There is something about this series that has really drawn me in and is not letting go until I guess I get to the final page in book 5.

In This Book we take a step back, to find out the histories of the events that have happened in the present day and alongside this we get to start putting the pieces together for what I’m going to guess is the final showdown. Shafeen's father is ill, so Shafeen has to jet to India to support his family. Greer goes to offer support. Quite early in the book there is a major revelation

I loved seeing India through the eyes of an Indian, the descriptions where amazing I could practically feel the heat and smell the spices, and learning a bit about the history was wonderful.

Next Stop Book 5 – Lets finish this series this year and it seems that old enemies are going to be teaming up to take on the order!

This was a nice addition (perhaps conclusion?) to the series. Unlike the previous books though there were no real plot twists, puzzles, surprises or mysteries though, and we didn't really get into the action until past the halfway mark. I did like the change of scenery though (India) and learning a bit more about Shafeen and his family.
