erine 's review for:

Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
4.0

I don’t know why I had such trouble getting into this, but I really struggled with the print and ebook versions. The audio is great though, and I finally found my way into the story. It was thrilling, fun, funny, and full of brave heroines.

I really enjoyed the Hindu atmosphere, which was delightfully dark, and which balanced nicely with Aru and Mini’s middle school personalities.

The whole concept of lifting up #ownvoices to tell their own stories is fantastic. I only managed to make it through one Percy Jackson, but I am disproportionately looking forward to the other books coming from this imprint.
