Hunted by the Sky by Tanaz Bhathena
4.0
This was a great read! 3.5/5 stars
I really loved the world-building here, the culture and settings were super immersive and fun to read. I thought the plot was intriguing and it definitely kept me turning the pages! I was eager to find out more about the royal structures and follow Gul as she infiltrated them.
There were a lot of things I loved about this book, from the main character histories to some of the awesome minor characters. I’d love to see more about Kali, Amar, and Malti in the next book!
However, despite finding Cavas’ situation/motive interesting, I didn’t really connect with him as character much, and I preferred Gul’s POV. I didn’t find him very distinct voice-wise or personality-wise.
I also wasn’t a big fan of the romance. Now, I have to add a disclaimer that I’m really not into destiny/soulmate type romances, so this probably wouldn’t have appealed to me anyways. I just found it to be kind of unnecessary and jammed in for the sake of having a romantic subplot. I couldn’t really see much in the way of chemistry or emotional connection between them, and the subplot felt like a hindrance at times.
Overall Hunted By the Sky was a great read and I highly recommend checking it out! Though some parts drew me in less, the plot and world-building kept me turning the pages quickly!
