And then there’s brooding, complicated Aiden. Sheela and Nikita took a little longer to come into the fold, but they found their place quickly enough. Brynne and Mini have been wonderful sisters, and to see their relationships strengthen over the years has been an absolute highlight of the series. Every book since then has been about discovering a way to stop him and finding out what kind of person she is along the way. But I’m still sad to see her go.Īfter all, it’s been quite the journey! Four years ago, Aru found out who her father was and what he was willing to do to get what he wanted.
These books have been a bright spot for me over the years, and it’s been invigorating to watch Aru grow and change throughout that time. Seeing the Pandava series come to a close is bittersweet. She swung the door into Hindu mythology wide open in a way I’ve never experienced before. She was a bit like Percy Jackson-impulsive and riddled with doubt, eternally getting into trouble and yet always finding the best way through-but existed in a world I knew little about. It kicked off Rick Riordan Presents just over four years ago, and I instantly fell in love with Aru Shah. Each one has been a unique delight, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of stories I’ve consumed thanks to this imprint.īut the Pandava Quintet by Roshani Chokshi holds a special place in my heart. We’ve gotten dozens of books full of interesting characters set amongst otherworldly backgrounds going on incredible adventures. That’s how RRP was formed, and since its launch in 2018, 14 different authors have worked to bring various mythologies to life ( with more on the way). There are other authors equally as talented who are in a much better position to share those tales with us.
After all, we all wish we could experience the joy of Percy Jackson again for the first time.Įven if time wasn’t an issue (and it most definitely is), he’s been understandably hesitant to tap into histories, religions, folktales, and cultures he doesn’t belong to. Fans have been asking Rick for years to write stories based on other mythologies. When the author of Percy Jackson first announced his new imprint, Rick Riordan Presents, I couldn’t have been more delighted by the premise. Our Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality book review is a spoiler-free discussion of the final Pandava book by Roshani Chokshi.
