A review by sriyasbooks
Aru Shah and the Song of Death by Roshani Chokshi

3.0

You know what, also not bad. Somehow this books sort of makes me feel the tiniest bit endeared to these characters. I think it’s their silliness. I will say the author’s millennialness is so very clear here in most of the jokes and the book suffers a bit for it. But the dynamic between the characters is there somewhat. Minnie is still not my favorite and I hope either her jokes get better or she grows more in following books. Aru is the same but more confident which I don’t mind for her, and surprisingly, I don’t mind Aiden. The ending did make me crack up for real, and I think the bonding moment for Aru and Aiden is good. Bryn is a better balance of comic relief and character, although I think she could be better.
