This book could have been a four-star-read, because Roshani Chokshi obviously knows how to write and the characters are so funny. But it was one hurdle after another in a constantly shifting environment and I missed constancy of anything. I would have liked to see more of the day-to-day afterward, you know, magic school-like stuff, the training and so on. So maybe I'll read on in hopes of getting this in the second book. Now, if you feel like a fastpaced, witty road-trip through supernatural places of Indian mythology, go ahead and give this one a try! If that was more my pace, I would add a forth star for sure.
