A new middle-grade fantasy series packed with action and adventure, perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Soman Chainani.

Meet Kiranmala: interdimensional demon slayer (only she doesn't know it yet).

On the morning of her 12th birthday, Kiranmala is just a regular sixth grader living in Parsippany, New Jersey . . . until her parents mysteriously vanish and a drooling rakkhosh demon slams through her kitchen, determined to eat her alive. Turns out there might be some truth to her parents' fantastical stories - like how Kiranmala is a real Indian princess and how she comes from a secret place not of this world.

To complicate matters, two crush-worthy princes ring her doorbell, insisting they've come to rescue her. Suddenly, Kiran is swept into another dimension full of magic, winged horses, moving maps, and annoying talking birds. There she must solve riddles and battle demons all while avoiding the Serpent King of the underworld and the Rakkhoshi Queen in order to find her parents and basically save New Jersey, her entire world, and everything beyond it....

Could not stand the reader. Was bad enough I could barely listen to the book.

a bit overwritten, but it could just be the reader

Masterfully written, endlessly entertaining and wonderfully humorous. Every chapter’s end leaves me hungry for the next.

As brilliant as any star

I like how Kiranmala develops. She's annoying sometimes, but no worse than any other twelve-year-old. Though I roll my eyes at a lot of the "not like other girls" mindset in the beginning, she drifted away from that as time went on.

The biggest point of contention for me is more of a minor note. The narration is sometimes way overplayed and takes me out. DasGupta is great at changing her voice, and each character feels distinct. If she pulled back just a little and didn't emphasize every few words, then it would be a solid performance.

Lots of Potential

If I'd been reading this I might have liked it more. Narration kills my interest.

Awful narration. Might read on kindle.

I might have enjoyed the story more without the main character. She was quiet annoying. And the constant complaining😶. She makes the story drag on for me. I enjoyed the myths and Legends from India culture components

Good story except
