Hunted by the Sky

De: Tanaz Bhathena

Narrado por: Neil Shah, Soneela Nankani

Exploring identity, class struggles, and high-stakes romance, Tanaz Bhathena's Hunted by the Sky is a gripping adventure set in a world inspired by medieval India.

Gul has spent her life running. She has a star-shaped birthmark on her arm, and in the kingdom of Ambar, girls with such birthmarks have been disappearing for years. Gul’s mark is what caused her parents’ murder at the hand of King Lohar’s ruthless soldiers and forced her into hiding to protect her own life. So when a group of rebel women called the Sisters of the Golden Lotus rescue her, take her in, and train her in warrior magic, Gul wants only one thing: revenge.

Cavas lives in the tenements, and he’s just about ready to sign his life over to the king’s army. His father is terminally ill, and Cavas will do anything to save him. But sparks fly when he meets a mysterious girl - Gul - in the capital’s bazaar, and as the chemistry between them undeniably grows, he becomes entangled in a mission of vengeance - and discovers a magic he never expected to find.

Dangerous circumstances have brought Gul and Cavas together at the king’s domain in Ambar Fort...a world with secrets deadlier than their own.

Significant distractions spoil plot progression

The heroine was whiney and immature. There didn't,t appear to be any maturation during the story. The narrator spoke with a consistently emphatic inflection that was injurous to the telling. Overall the plot was interesting but marred by the immaturity of the main character and the narration.

Such a creative writer

I love her writing. This is my second book that I have read of hers, and even the audio version is very suspenseful and easy to follow.
