Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
3.0

It was nice enough but over cliched. It was supposed to be representative but ended up having a lot of the same stereotypes that are so perpetuated in media.

And the mc was extremely dumb, often, but then again ig I am 10 yrs older than she is. I think I would’ve enjoyed this a lot more when I was in 7th grade.

But again, I am very happy about the representation and sharing of Hindu mythology that is unfortunately so lacking. I wish there were more (detailed) books like this and I wish I’d had something like this when I was younger.
