Kiki Kallira Breaks a Kingdom by Sangu Mandanna

dexdar's review

I listened to the audiobook. I think much of the reason I did not finish the book was the narrator. Her voice and tone was just not for me. There was also too much inner dialogue of the main character, which got annoying as the book progressed.

Kiki Kallira is an exceptional middle grade protagonist. She has a fantastic imagination, is a talented artist, and she's developing some awareness and strategies to deal with her anxiety issues. When Kiki's sketchbook world is brought to life and she is swept inside, adventures ensue and Kiki is forced to face monsters both internal and external.

Was really excited to see a book mention my home state of Karnataka. The main character has anxiety and draws to calm herself, and has a super supportive parent and its just so nice to see that in an Indian family dynamic
