Aru Shah and the City of Gold by Roshani Chokshi

So you can probably understand why I hated Aiden for a lot of this book. He is definitely a good character to root for.Īiden was pretty much a jerk to Aru in most of this book. :)Īiden: So.you know how I told you Aiden was undeveloped in book 2 and 3? Well Chokshi completely solved the previous problems in this book! I was extremely thrilled when the author ‘opened up his soul’ and made him vulnerable. Thank you so much to the amazing Niharika for Buddy Reading this with me! I had a lovely time fan-girling and ranting with you.

Will she come to peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life? If they lose, they won't stand a chance against the Sleeper's troops, which will soon march on Lanka to take over the Otherworld.Īru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Case in point: Kubera, ruler of the city of gold, promises to give the Pandavas two powerful weapons, but only if they win his trials.

The gods have been too devious up to now. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her.Īru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. Aru Shah and her sisters-including one who also claims to be the Sleeper's daughter-must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka, the city of gold, before war breaks out between the devas and asuras.Īru has just made a wish on the tree of wishes, but she can't remember what it was.
