Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
4.0
3.5 stars with Swedish rounding.
It was definitely very Percy Jackson-esque, but with Hindu mythology instead of Greek, and a lot more girl power (which I'm definitely not complaining about). On the whole, it was a fun little adventure, the characters are likeable, and I knew very little about Hindu mythology, so it was cool to learn a little about that, too.
While it was easy to read, I'm not sure I ever really got to a point where I cared all that much about what was going on. That is, it was all too easy to pull myself away and the biggest reason I kept returning was because I knew I needed to finish it so that I can a) return it to the library and b) read other books.
I think this is another case of "I liked it, but I might have loved it were I a bit younger."
