A review by wellvallie
Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

3.0

My favorite part of the story were the random side characters, especially Chritigupta, feminist icon, such a dad, loved him.

When it was revealed that the Sleeper was Aru's dad, I thought that was so exciting and would complicate the dynamic between him and Aru, making him more than a one-dimensional villain, but aside from some backstory, it didn't really add anything to the story overall, which was disappointing. That's how I felt about most of the other character relationships also. There would be exposition and not much follow-through
