Aru Shah and the Song of Death Book Review by Kruti!!!

Do you love humorous and exciting books that are also informative as well? Then this book is the answer to all of your questions!

Aru Shah and the Song of Death is about a awesome girl named Aru Shah. The day she discovers she’s one of the Pandava brothers/sisters, EVERYTHING changes. She also teamed up with Mini, another Pandava, in the previous book, Aru Shah and the End of Time. In this book, it starts off with heartless monsters or zombies. Whichever way you’d like to call them is fine. Anyways, then comes another Aru Shah fighting with one of the other Pandava sisters, Brynne. And because Aru’s clone is seen fighting Brynne with the bow and arrow that is a celestial weapon made by the God of love, Kamadeva, that was stolen, Aru and Brynne have been framed as the thieves, who are anonymous. Now, with help from Aiden, a boy who has hidden a lot of secrets from Aru at school, and Brynne, the half-brother of the Indian God, Hanuman, Mini, Aiden, Brynne, and Aru journey together through the mortal world to get back the bow and arrow before it turns everyone, including the Pandavas, into Heartless zombies. 

The gang also hears rumors about the thief trying to get Amrita, the Nectar of Immortality, from the Ocean of Milk. They battle demons, travel through a dangerous and shimmering serpent realm, and uncover the truth about their enemy, discovering that it’s actually someone whom they didn’t expect to be the thief! Want to find out who he/she is? Read the book!

I really loved this book! Along with information and fantasy, it comes with witty and hilarious characters! It’s almost like it was a movie because I could picture everything that happened, from beginning to end. I also love the chapter titles. Normally, people don’t pay attention to the chapters and their titles, including me, but this book made me read the chapter titles! They were so quirky! There were chapter titles like, “But Real Talk, Where Are the Cookies?”, “This is Fine. Really”, and, my favorite of all, “Dehhhh-Spah-CITO“! 

I especially love the glossary at the very end that the author added. I have seven words for it: This glossary is incredibly funny and astounding! I really like how the author adds comical features to this short Indian dictionary. Although, sometimes, along with comical, it can be a little offensive, but still, it is very informative and riotous! In the end, you get a big reward, so make sure to read everything! In conclusion, I think you should definitely consider reading this book, because it has fulfilled my needs, and it will do the same for you!
