A review by perfictionist19
Astra by Arnav Mukherjee, Aditya Mukherjee
3.0
The world should burn . . . burn like a star!
Astra : The Quest for Starsong, sketches the journey of Varkan, prince of Ashmaka who is the wielder and protector of Starsong, one of the astras.
The story is set before the abduction of Sita by the lord of Ravana and Ravana's quest to bring all the mighty astras under his wing and thereby rule the kingdoms of both the humans and Asuras. Ravana, who already owns the Pushpaka Vimana has now set his eyes on Astra. It is now the sole responsibility of Varkan and his friends to stop this raging war.
The story opens up with Varkan being held captive in a high tower by his uncle and we get to know that his mother has been prisoned too.
"Astra : The Quest for Starsong" starts off with a rather strong start although I would agree that the beginning felt quite abrupt and could've been a bit lucid.
The book in my opinion would cater fo the middle graders perfectly merely for the fact that it is fast paced.
The characters however lacked polish and felt abit underdeveloped for my taste and I would've definitely preferred to know more about Tara and her grandfather.
Overall, I would recommend ASTRA to fans books inspired by Indian Mythology.
