I’m sad the series is over, but so pleased with it as a whole. I am sure that I will miss Aru very soon, good thing there is a graphic novel as adaptation of the first book!

I love the characters in this series and overall I really enjoyed the series (my kids LOVED it) however I thought the last two books did not shine like the first 3. I wish this had been a trilogy instead a 5 book series.

And just like that, Roshani Chokshi pulls the various plotlines together and ends the whole thing. The pacing, character development, plot, emotions, action, etc. finally hits just right. I read that Chokshi initially didn't plan on writing a fifth book, but ultimately did. Seems like that was the right choice. This series isn't gold, but it's got a diverse cast and tells some great stories. I liked this last book the best.

Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality by Roshani Chokshi is the final book in the Pandava quintet and a fast-paced adventure full of hard choices, overcoming self-doubt, and the power of storytelling. I loved all the places, characters, stories, and growth. It was also great to get more chapters from the other Pandavas' points of view.
This book has its emotional ups and downs, with some truly devastating moments, but also some wonderful and hilarious scenes.
I do think the ending rushes a bit, particularly after what happens, and I would have liked to see more of the emotional aftermath. Still, this book was a fantastic ending to this series, and hopefully we'll get more in the world.

4.5 stars.
This was a very uplifting kind of read. A mostly happy end to the story. And while I still think there were some things that were a little too cliche, overall I enjoyed the story.
