Wow what an ending. Also like the glimpses of who they all could be. Great story. Humor was a bit campy.

The Thing that goes hand in hand with reading an E-Book is anger Management..
Yeab, Anger Management, Not Coffee, Not Tea...
Because Otherwise I would be throwing my device across the wall ....
What was that ending for....
The Last Couple of Chapters was a work of art on their own, The Regrets that comes with making a Wish, the wish that we have no idea what the aim of it and how it ended up being that.
And my god .... that was amazing to say the least about it..
Loved it, Loved every bit of it.

What a journey and what a cliffhanger!
This series is one of my favourites and I've been slowly trying to enjoy them rather than just devouring them in one week.
If you love adventure, found family, nerdy wit and mythology - then these books are for you!

Synopsis: War between the devas and the demons is imminent, and the Otherworld is on high alert. When intelligence from the human world reveals that the Sleeper is holding a powerful clairvoyant and her sister captive, 14-year-old Aru and her friends launch a search-and-rescue mission. The captives, a pair of twins, turn out to be the newest Pandava sisters, though, according to a prophecy, one sister is not true.
During the celebration of Holi, the heavenly attendants stage a massage PR rebranding campaign to convince everyone that the Pandavas are to be trusted. As much as Aru relishes the attention, she fears that she is destined to bring destruction to her sisters, as the Sleeper has predicted. Aru believes that the only way to prove her reputation is to find the Kalpavriksha, the wish-granting tree that came out of the Ocean of Milk when it was churned. If she can reach it before the Sleeper, perhaps she can turn everything around with one wish.
Careful what you wish for, Aru . . .
Review: Holy cow this book was so good! I absolutely loved the characters, old and new, especially Sheela! My new fave next to Aru! I loved the world building and I loved how this group of heroines and heroes solved issued and fought together. The book was well written and fun, and it was well paced.
I didn’t really have an issue with the book at all. In a couple of spots, it was slow but that was to build tension. The book also ended on an absolute cliffhanger that boggled my mind. I need book 4!!
Verdict: Love this series!
