Hunted by the Sky by Tanaz Bhathena - ADVISABLE

Hunted by the Sky by Tanaz Bhathena, 384 pages. Farrar Straus Giroux (Macmillan), 2020. $19.


BUYING ADVISORY: MS, HS - ADVISABLE


AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE


Gul has been on the run and in hiding with the Sisters of the Golden Lotus for years.  Though she has trained in martial arts, her only goal has been to get into the palace and kill King Lohar before her kills her. Because Gul, the girl with a star on her arm, is prophecied to be King Lohar’s death.


There is a beginning of a love interest here also, but Gul is the most important character. Lots of danger. Based around Indian culture, though I don’t think it is a mythology based story. I’m sure there will be a couple of sequels.
