Review: T.I.G.E.R.S. by M. A. Bennett

T.I.G.E.R.S. is the fourth book in the S.T.A.G.S. series and the first one of the series I have read. This wasn’t a disadvantage as the book takes the reader back in time to Shafeen’s and Henry’s dads’ stories and gives us more background information about the world of the S.T.A.G.S. It was really interesting to learn about India’s history, and from the perspective of an Indian. The descriptions of India really made me feel the heat and smells of the country, made me realise the divides in society, and how they are still alive today.

This book helps to bring everything together in the series. We get to find out more about Rollo and what actually happened on his Justitium weekend with Shafeen’s father. The use of diary entries gave a more personal twist to the book, making Shafeen’s father more alive. Knowing Aadhish’s mindset was helpful in giving an insight into the thoughts and feelings of Rollo as a young man and how this might have influenced Henry.

The book flows really well and is nice and easy to read. It is written in such a way that adults can enjoy it too. The book has many twists and turns and it was certainly fun trying to work out what was going to happen next.
