The Aru Shah books never let me down and this one is no exception. I can’t believe I have to wait until 2022 for the final book in the series!!!!! If you haven’t started this series, what are you waiting for?!

This was my least favorite of the series. It was still good. Worth the read but not as good as the first 3.

4.5 out of 5 Stars: The plot twists in this book seriously top tier. The potatoes always make me laugh when I need it. Chokshi is always the best at helping me survive stressful weeks. I am glad I read this later because I don't have to wait for the next one to come out just my turn at the library.

This series is... not for me. I love the hindu mythology and concepts. I just do not like the pop culture references and the humor. Everything feels one note. Characters are all the same, personality-wise, with only one or two traits that are unique to the individual, and one of those is their celestial weapon. The world is hard to imagine as little information is given on the setting and it's set in a fantasy realm, instead of our real world.

It's fine. i just don't love it and did not want to finish the book, but just kept reading to get done with the series. I just wish that this book was more adult and not in the Rick Riordan-esque style/format
