I decided I quite liked Aru - and Mini, the other main character who ends up involved for reasons I shall not name (no spoilers!). I like how their relationship develops, though Mini can be...a bit much. Slightly over the top in her continual worries.
As was the case with Roanhorse's book, I enjoyed the interspersing of Hindu culture - though in this case, it could be a bit overwhelming with how much there was. However, having said that - this book is part of a quartet, so I'm hoping that as it goes along, it will become a little less burdensome.
Overall, this is definitely a book that libraries (school and town) should make an effort to have on hand. The representation here is fabulous, and there are many out there that will be thrilled to see someone like them gracing the cover, and having her own book.
