Pandava Series Book 5: Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality by Roshani Chokshi

Pandava Book 5

The Pandavas only have until the next full moon to stop the Sleeper from gaining access to the nectar of immortality, which will grant him infinite power. But how can Aru, Mini, and Brynne hope to defeat him without their celestial weapons? The Sleeper and his army are already plundering the labyrinth, and the sisters can’t even enter. Their quest to get in will have them calling on old friends, meeting new allies, and facing fearsome trials, like…performing in a rock concert? When the moment of confrontation finally arrives, it’s up to Aru to decide who deserves immortality, the devas or the asuras. The most unexpected answer will come from a most unexpected place. More surprises and delights, gods and demons, and laughs and tears await in this immensely satisfying conclusion to the wild ride that began with the lighting of a lamp.

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

I can't believe we have finally made it to the end of this series! The first book of this series had kicked off the Rick Riordan Presents imprint and they couldn't have picked a better series. It has to be my favorite that has come out of that imprint so far. And this one in particular was one of the best in the series. Each book truly does get better and better. Hinduism mythology is one I am not super familiar with but I loved learning it through Aru's story. This final book picked up shortly where the last one left off which was a pretty major cliffhanger. Our heroes, Aru, Brynne, and Mini are left in a pretty tight spot after Kara betrayed them and destroyed their godly weapons. Now it is up to them along with Aiden, Rudy, an the twins to finish this war once and for all. They need to get to the nectar of immortality before the Sleeper. But of course there will be some challenges along the way. And ones they wouldn't expect. They'll have to look deep within themselves and overcome their fears and insecurities in order to prove themselves once and for all. This story truly showed the character development of all these amazing characters. They have come so far. They have grown up so much. And in the end they learned what it meant to be a hero. Loved this conclusion to this series. Though I have to wonder if there could be more in this world. A little tidbit at the end sounded like that could be a possibility. I would love to continue reading stories from this world. It was such a fun one to be in! Great, great story.
