It was all so refreshing to see that in the book!īoth Esha and Kunal are really complex characters, as the story progresses we learn more about each of them and we realise that there is more than meets the eye. I loved that Esha wore sari’s and the food they ate and even the way that people lived and the traditions they had. I absolutely loved the way Indian culture was incorporated into the story and how different Kunal’s clothes were as a soldier compared to other fantasy books. I adored the vivid descriptions from the landscape, to the food and clothes. The world building is incredible, it was intricate and detailed. I really loved that as we get to see both sides of the story and it gives us a view of the world from both their opposing sides. This book is told from two points of view so we get to see things from both Esha and Kunal. I really loved reading this and kept wanting to read just one more chapter which kept me reading well into the night! I adored Esha and Kunal and watching their story unfold was so much fun! This book is fast paced and intense especially in the second half of the book. 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.
Both the Viper and the soldier think they’re calling the shots, but they’re not the only players moving the pieces. Then Esha’s and Kunal’s paths cross-and an unimaginable chain of events unfolds. 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. Kunal has been a soldier since childhood, training morning and night to uphold the power of King Vardaan.
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. It’s only in the shadows that she moonlights as the Viper, the rebels’ highly skilled assassin. Synopsis from Goodreads: Esha is a legend, but no one knows. I had been excited about reading this book ever since I heard about it! It’s inspired by ancient Indian history and Hindu mythology and I immediately added it to my tbr.
