4 stars

I am loving Aru's journey together with her sisters and Aiden. So I am glad that it was announced that the Pandava series will no longer be a quartet but a 5 part series!

Since this is the third book in the series, beware of spoilers!

Spoiler

Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes starts with Aru, Mini, Brynne and Aiden saving the newest Pandavas sisters. And I loved the twins, Nikita and Sheela. Their personalities are very distinct and I hope that we will get to see more of them in the last two books in the series since here they were still more in the background. I even started to like Naga Prince Rudy after be annoyed by him for part of the book. But in the end, he grew.

The book comes back the Aru's insecurities surrounding the Sleeper especially because of a specific sentence in the prophecy. The insecurity felt very natural to her character and I enjoyed reading about it especially with the way this book ended.

Let's talk about the ending of this book! Risks were taken. And now I need the next book to see how it will turn out!
