Rea and the Blood of the Nectar by Payal Doshi

4.0

This book was a lovely middle grade fantasy with an evil queen, a strong loyalty and love for family and the chosen one.

The first thing that drew me to this book is that it’s set in India! I’ve read very few books set in India and nothing that’s middle grade. I’m glad it did because the setting was just beautiful.

Rea is a fantastic MC to show kids it’s possible to find magic inside of themselves.

My only issue was the pacing. It was definitely a little off and could use more action.

I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Aru Shah or the Chronicles of Narnia.
