A review by sofisofa
Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

4.0

I got sent the sequel to Aru Shah for review and as a part of my 2019 challenge of reading all of my review books before release date, I obviously had to read it. However, I realised that I never actually got around to reading the first book when I got it for review last year (I’m a terribe blogger obviously). Therfore, I decided to binge-read both of these books and I’m so glad I did. It’s been a while since I read a Rick Riordan book but this took me back to all of those years ago when I loved the Percy Jackson series because it was just so much fun. I had even more fun in this series because it deals with Hindu mythology which I am much more aware of from my love for Bollywood movies. The characters are so much fun, especially Aru who is so reliable. I love how she is in her Spider-Man pyjamas for the whole of the quest in the first book. I loved all of the new characters in the sequel that we got introduced to and I cannot wait to get to know more about them in the following novels. I loved so much about this series and I highly recommend it for any mythology fans. I am eagerly anticipating the third book in this series already.
