chamomiledaydreams 's review for:
Aru Shah and the End of Time
by Roshani Chokshi
Before the pandemic, I read the first two Aru Shah novels and loved them. I didn't keep up with the releases after that, but now that all five books are out, I will be going back and rereading the first two then moving ahead through the series and all the way to the end.
Everything I remember enjoying about this book held true during my reread: Mini is a lovely and hilarious character; Aru is a fascinating protagonist; and Chitrugupta is my favorite side-character. There were also many elements of the story that completely slipped my mind and captivated me as though they were new the second time around. For example, I forgot about Boo, the Sleeper's mysterious connection to Aru, and Chitrugupta's "this is what a feminist looks like" shirt.
Revisiting this story was very enjoyable, and I'm glad that I've refreshed my memory before moving on to the last three books. I'm looking forward to rereading the sequel next, although I plan to space out each book so that I can remember more clearly which events happen in which installment.
