This was so what okay but I feel like they could've added more detail to some scenes like in the Novels such as the Godzilla sized fire moths or more time for meeting Mini, overall I would like it more if it were less rushed

A fun, interesting mythological adventure series opener. This is a great first exposure to Indian cultural heritage and stories in an easy-to-process manner and it is great that Riordan is providing a platform allowing the stories of…

Maybe one of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read? I think it’s one of the best, in my opinion. I think it’s just an amazing book in general and it talks about Aru, who is a blossoming twelve-year-old girl living in a museum. While other…

I really enjoyed this fantastic adventure tale with a strong female lead. Aru's imperfections made her super relatable. A bonus that is based on Indian mythology which is not often mentioned in children's literature.
