The thought that the characters seemed young was something I thought pretty much the whole time I read the book. I’m not in the biggest mood to read right now, so I’m pretty sure that’s why I had a hard time with this book. We are living in pretty weird times, and maybe I just wasn’t reading this book at the right time. It’s weird, because I didn’t feel that way with the other books in the series. I know it’s middle grade, and the characters are supposed to be young. The characters felt really young in this book. Even if it wasn’t as much as I wanted to like it. I liked The Chaos Curse! I wish I liked it as much as the first two books in the series but I still liked it. Kiran must grapple with the increasingly tangled threads that threaten to ensnare her…and everyone in the world and the Kingdom Beyond. Could it be that the Anti-Chaos Committee’s efforts are causing a dangerous disruption in the multiverse? Most troubling of all, though, is the way reality all around her seems to waver and flicker at odd moments. She also faces evil serpents (of course!), plus a frightening prophecy about her role in the coming conflict between good and evil. Kiranmala must leave the Kingdom Beyond and travel to her hometown of Parsippany to save Prince Lal, who has been spirited to the unlikeliest of places - a tree in the yard of her best-enemy-for-life. Where I Got It: I borrowed the e-book from the libraryĬreating order out of chaos has frightening consequences in this New York Times bestselling series! Published March 2020 by Scholastic Press|368 pages I think the author does a great job of keeping the series light and fun for middle-grade readers but still showing that teens can do hard things and face hard things, but it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom-a great ending to a fun series.Book Review: The Chaos Curse by Sayatani DasGupta The connection to the spin-off about Pinki becoming queen is blended nicely into this story, so we are set up for coming next.

I would like to see a more substantial conflict with Sesha as they have been a threat from the first book, and that conflict sort of fizzles out and gets lost in the various other side stories. I would like to have that broadened to explore the other problems teens struggle with to make the characters more identifiable. The book has the character work through prejudices which is an issue all people struggle with. In this final book, our main character Kiran has secured her confidence as a heroine and needs to combine that with teamwork. The author gives us references to where the stories come from in the back of the book. The story's chaos fits well with the title chaos curse, and the nature of the disorder with the multiverse lends itself well to the blending of the various tales.

The fun mixture of different stories blended into this book makes for an adventure of catching all of them they even snuck in a princess bride reference.
