The Tiger at Midnight by Swati Teerdhala

5.0

Excellent world-building and characters that are fun to follow. I really enjoyed reading a fantasy book where the setting and lore wasn’t based on European culture. Some of the choices the characters make are predictable, but that doesn’t make them less interesting. I actually found it made them more relatable. Teerdhala also allows her characters to grow and change in realistic ways. And while it’s not a focus of the book, I enjoyed how inclusive it is. Of course a strong female main character is awesome too!
