This book was so exciting to read because of all the plots in it. There were some parts that didn’t stand out to me, but overall it was really funny to read! The anticipation of trying to know what comes next will keep you reading, and it is a great end for a series!

A very fun and entertaining conclusion to the series. The cast all gets their time to shine. Only problem is it leaves you craving more.

The Pandava Quintet by Roshani Chokshi holds a special place in my heart. It kicked off Rick Riordan Presents just over four years ago, and I instantly fell in love with Aru Shah. She was a bit like Percy Jackson—impulsive and riddled with doubt, eternally getting into trouble and yet always finding the best way through—but existed in a world I knew little about. She swung the door into Hindu mythology wide open in a way I’ve never experienced before. Roshani Chokshi is a brilliant storyteller, and one of her greatest strengths is taking the time to highlight each character’s weakness and letting them work through their fears in their own time. Never does the story feel like it’s dragging or like it's rushing forward. Everything happens for a reason, in its own time, right when it needs to. Much of Nectar of Immortality is about being at your lowest point and finding the strength to pick yourself up, dust off your shoulders, and keep going. It’s not always easy, and you don’t always know what you’re going to do until the moment comes, but that’s okay. It would be nice if we had all the answers all the time, but no one does. Sometimes it’s better to trust your instincts and have your friends by your side. The series in a way that both closed the door on this story and kept the Pandavas alive in my mind in a way that made it feel like they’d always be there when I needed them.
