![]() ![]() How much do i love this book? this is an unquantifiable number. Tbh i don't think i could encapsulate my feelings about this book and series into a perfect review within the ~17k character limit (and counting) that i have left Omg! We have a cover! Darn that's beautiful. ![]() Just finished City of Gold! That ending was absolutely crazy. I loved how Chokshi ended this series.I would KILL for an epilogue book!! I really can't believe it's over.I'm gonna miss these characters. Loveable characters, interesting plot, hilarious writing: all the components I need in a masterpiece MG book. I was not exposed to a lot of Indian protagonists back then, so I was extremely excited to see some rep.Ĥ years later, as a teenager, I'm still invested in this series, which just goes to show how much this series meant to me. When I looked at the cover, I truly couldn't believe that there was a book where the main character was Indian. I was 10 years old when I first came across this series. I truly can't believe this series is over. ![]()
