3.0

Wanted to like it because I found the novel too slow, but this one actually went too fast. Lots of impactful moments got squished or skipped, like they were told not to go over a certain number of pages, which is disappointing. The art was delightful and I would have loved to see more of it.

Aru Shah is really thrown in the thick of it when she doesn't heed her mother's warning never to light a mysterious lamp in the museum they live in when she's trying to impress some bullies from school. After she awakens the sleeper, she embarks on a journey, not only to save the world, but of self discovery and hidden family secrets
