Ash is spending his summer with his sister, aunt, and
uncle in India. The first couple weeks were amazing, but now things are getting
confusing and out of hand. While Ash loves the Indian tales of Rama and demons,
he doesn't want to live it--he is no hero. Yet.
A captivating story that rolls
mythology into the modern world, much like the Percy Jackson series, made this
book very exciting--once one gets past the beginning. The first few chapters
are slow to get to the real challenges and meat of the story. This lag of
interest makes this book less dazzling than Percy Jackson, but there is no
doubt that the sequel will be hard to wait for.
