Why are these book characters so cool?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
I’m totally jealous of book characters, because they’re all stuff like The Lost Jewels of Anneira and The Dragonets of Destiny or The Boy Who Lived or the CRC or the Interdimensional Demon Slayer. Wouldn’t it be really cool if you were something like that. This is a new book I love, because the MC is so, well, cool!!!! In the book Kira complains about not having a cell phone! Kid, you’re a dimension-jumping, arrow-shooting, monster-fighting Daughter of the Serpent King! Isn’t that better than having a phone? Kira is now on my list of people I would like to live for a couple days as, alongside Katniss, Hermione, and Rey, and the Kingdom Beyond Seven Oceans is on my list of places to live, along with Pyrrhia, the Lost Cities, and Middle Earth.
Kiranmala, in the footsteps of her book character ancestors, is awesome. Sayantani takes her rightful place alongside Tui and JK in my “awesome authors” list!
A keep you on the edge of your seat thrill ride!

I read this to make sure it was age appropriate for my kid. Not only is it that but I really enjoyed it! I couldn't put it down, and the fact that it incorporates things from Indian culture made it all the more intriguing for me. I'd recommend this for any child or adult who wants to read a good adventure!
