mnstucki 's review for:
Aru Shah and the End of Time
by Roshani Chokshi
This was a lot of fun, and I definitely found myself getting curious about the mythology/folklore/religion elements. I will say that I was a little disappointed at just how closely this followed the Rick Riordan formula. The only other book I’ve read from the Rick Riordan Presents imprint was Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee (which I definitely recommend, by the way!), and while that book draws on Korean folklore, it doesn’t follow the “kids discover they are demigods and unwillingly go on a quest” formula that Riordan uses anywhere near as much as this one does. Even so, I’m intrigued and will almost certainly finish the series (especially since the book that is presumably meant to conclude the series comes out in just a few months).
I listened to this on audio and I thought it was great! Anytime I am reading something that will include words from languages, I’m always glad to hear the correct pronunciation, usually in a native accent.
