#aru shah wiki

[autumn-equinox-04]

was on the aru shah wiki again and

can we just talk about how awesome it is that it's the name 'Meenakshi' that has a page and not 'Surpanakha'??

maybe I'm reading too much into it but this kind of the embodiment of Aru's promise to remember Lady M's true story

Tristan Strong Punches A Hole In the Sky

Kwame Mbalia

April 2022

I feel like I wanted to like this more than I ended up liking it. Which is not a knock on the book, but more of a general observation of my headspace while trying to read along while also listening to the audiobook.

Having read (and loved) the Aru Shah series and the original Percy Jackson books, I was really excited to move onto the next series within the Rick Riordan Presents banner. But while I appreciated the folklore that went into the world and character building as well as some of the plot developments in the story, I found myself a bit frustrated with how inaccessible the “mythological” element of the book felt at times, especially coming into this with much less prior knowledge beyond an awareness of Anansi and some of the stories around him.

While I do not always advocate for people to have to explain certain cultural elements within a story, I do think some consideration should be given to the fact that this particular series has to do with preserving and celebrating older stories and folktales. Especially when the book doesn’t really relay the original stories alongside how Mbalia is approaching them like PJO or the Aru Shah books did. Instead, I wound up looking things up as I read, and I had to try and avoid spoilers from the wiki.

That’s okay though. It was still an enjoyable read and it was good encountering a character dealing with their anger and grief. I think more kids need to read stuff like this and I look forward to the next book.

So the chapter names for City of Gold are on the Aru Shah wiki page and:

A potential potato christening for Kara??

[gardenoftransexuals]

fsghidhogsu another aru shah fan~~ ALSO WHEN U SAY 'KARA DESERVES BETTER'- do u ship aiden and kara? 👀👀👀

i don't really ship kara and aiden together because i thought it was pretty obvious aru and aiden would get together. i also assumed that because kara doesn't really know much about the outside world her gender identity and sexuality would be more... fluid, or she would just be more comfortable without having anything. yeah i'm totally pushing my genderfluid panromantic asexual kara agenda lol

when i'm talking about 'kara deserves better' i'm saying that she deserves a way better deal than what she got: a mom who sealed her in time because she wasn't ready to have a kid (though that wasn't kara's fault), a dead father and a crazy adopted dad who took her away from her actual adopted family that has been raising her for twelve years (the aru shah wiki confirmed this), then wiped kara's memory of her adopted family because he wanted to be the only trustworthy person in her life-- or at least that's what i assume. i mean, why else would the sleeper wipe kara's memories and then say that her adoptive family wasn't treating her well?

Brynne Rao & St. Patrick’s Day

Brynne is half-Indian and half-Irish!!

I LOVE the diversity in Aru Shah. Everybody is not just Indian (which is totally fine!) but also mixed.

BTW, Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Brynne and everybody else!

(I know I’m late, please don’t rub it in.)
