This was a great follow-up to the debut of Aru Shah series. In this one, we encountered new adventures and stories that shows the reality and fantasy sides of different truths.
This was refreshing especially as we were introduced to new characters, I am looking forward to reading the next book and see how their dynamics would play-out as well.
One thing that this book takes pride in is its world-building once again, it's something that Riordan have also did with his books, and how seamless the real world merges with the mythological one. Overall, this was an amazing read.

I love this book with my entire heart!!!!! Aahhhh this was such a pleasant read. I had a smile on my face whenever I was reading it. I love Aru and Mini and Aiden and Brynne and Boo (even tho he only appeared in 2 or 3 scenes) and everyone!!!
Can we talk about how COOL Brynne is!!!!!!
And also, I predicted Aiden being Draupadi incarceration the moment he was introduced in the End of Time.
That kinda proves I know wayyyyy tooo much hindu mythology (My grandparents should be REALLLYYY proud!)
Also, in the kinda epilogue if the twins Aru saw must be the incarnations of Nakula and Sahadeva. Girls with names starting with N and S.
WHEN IS THE THIRD BOOK COMING. I WANT IT NOW.
also, aru and 12 year old Keerthi would be besties and Mini and present day Keerthi will be besties!!!!

Aru Shah is the best character I have read about in a long time. I always wish there was more dialogue in these books because her clever wit is a true delight.
In this book Aru Shah and friends must find a magic bow and arrow that a shape shifter stole using her appearance. By finding and returning the bow and arrow, she will clear her name and secure her spot in the Other World.
For me, this book had a surprising theme about self love and acceptance, despite any negative things said about you. It was such a welcome addition to the Aru Shah series.
Loved this book and the new characters. On to the next one.

Brynne is a ~mood~
The sisterhood between Aru, mini, and brynne is immaculate
