This week, I can't wait for
by Swati Teerdhala
Description from Goodreads
Esha is a legend, but no one knows. It’s only in the shadows that she moonlights as the Viper, the rebels’ highly skilled assassin. 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.
Kunal has been a soldier since childhood, training morning and night to uphold the power of King Vardaan. 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.
Then Esha’s and Kunal’s paths cross—and an unimaginable chain of events unfolds. Both the Viper and the soldier think they’re calling the shots, but they’re not the only players moving the pieces. 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.
Drawing inspiration from ancient Indian history and Hindu mythology, the first book in Swati Teerdhala’s debut fantasy trilogy captivates with electric romance, stunning action, and the fierce bonds that hold people together—and that drive them apart.

Look at that beautiful cover: the colors, the image, the atmosphere! So far maybe the prettiest covers of 2019. I'm very excited about The Tiger at Midnight as it includes Hindu mythology and Indian history. The increasing trend of young adult fantasy genre getting more diverse is welcomed with open arms! And besides, who doesn't love their protagonist as an assassin - the good old battle between good and evil!
Ooh drawing from Indian/ Hindu influences, plus the whole Viper identity/ assassin thing- this sounds great!
