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

5.0

Again, I say:

PROTECT MINI AT ALL COSTS OR ELSE



Reread 2022:
Rereading in preparation for the final book in April.

Seriously, I adore the Potatoes. Aru and Mini and amazing as always, and the addition of Wifey (sorry, Aiden) and Brynne was perfect. All of them are spectacularly well written, and they feel extremely real to me.

Also, the subtle queer rep is fantastic. The fact that Brynne is raised by her two uncles is amazing, and it’s not a big deal at all. And in a a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, Brynne mentions that she’s only into guys or girls that can fight. I think that books, middle grade especially, need this.
