All hail Roshani Chokshi!

What a perfect ending to this series. I have absolutely adored Aru and her Pandava sisters and their journeys. The amount of sheer action Chokshi inputs into this book is incredible. But the action is absolutely overpowered by the emotion. 

I’m so sad to be leaving the Pandava world.

A solid ending to the series. I kept putting it off but once I set didn’t I read it I was completely engaged. Would definitely read more books in this world. A big of a bittersweet ending, but ultimately a good one.

Rating: 4.5 stars
★★★★★

Oh gods, where do I even start? This was the perfect conclusion to The Pandava Quintet and I loved every part of it.

Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality picks up a few months after Aru Shah and the City of Gold—the Pandavas are now weaponless and will have to find their own way to defeat the Sleeper and their newly made enemy—Kara. Through countless trials which totally does not include a musical number, they should now navigate their way through strengths and weaknesses all while pretending to be completely oblivious to a certain birthday present.

I loved all the new characters introduced here, and their interactions (except a couple did feel underwhelming)—Tumburu is definitely my favorite out of all. Oh and did I mention a mysterious U.B.E.R driver who happens to play the flute and smells of butter? And the end was just what we needed. It wraps the series neatly and doesn’t go with the usual happily ever after, but a bittersweet one. I promise you’re gonna love this book!
