Another half-read book im going to park for now (maybe an upcoming flight). Can't really tell if it's poorly paced and overly contrived humour, or it's just middle school fic. Still been fun, South Indian representation is always nice (Rao - should have known), and have learned new Hindu tales. Will get back to you soon, but on to the biologically and ethnically diverse Yunnnan!

It's what I wanted - fun, fast-paced page turner! Through the river of aunt-trying-too-hard-to-be-funny core (my take, unsure what the kids think), Chokshi shows glimpses of comedic genius topped by Hanuman quoting Jay-Z. A patriarchy hating thief exclusively heartless-ifying men (unintended Kingdom Hearts ref always appreciated) and a samsung galaxy airport ban ref landed too (though the latter was a galaxy note!)

Wanted to read something light so keen to dive back into young Rahul's favourite junior high fantasy genre!
