Review:
4/5 Stars
If what I’ve heard is
true, than this book started out as a self published novel; I thank you so much
for doing that! Some authors would have let it sit, or fade into the
background. But this thing was amazing—and I’m so happy you decided to put it
into the world regardless.
What makes this story
stand out is the mythology behind it. Many stories are based off of mythology,
or at least influenced by it but this used Indian Mythology. It was so interesting
looking at the stories and beliefs of another culture, and watching how it
influenced the story.
The main character Kelsey
Hayes is a very nice character. I loved watching her point of view and
reactions to everything that was going on. She’s a very strong young woman and
a very pleasant character.
The character Ren—the
tiger to the Tiger’s Curse—is also very interesting to watch. I love watching
how the curse affected him through his life, and how he views life because of
it. It’s something different—in the best way possible.
I would highly
recommend this book; it’s a very refreshing take on mythological based fiction,
and isn’t something you see very often. To put it simply—it’s beautiful.
