Such a fun, action-packed middle-grade book with diverse characters! I think fans of Jumanji and the first Harry Potter book would love this really imaginative story. It felt pretty young to me in that it doesn't feel like the kind of middle-grade book that is also geared towards adult audiences, but I hope to pick this up for younger cousins and friends' children when they're a bit older.
This was so fun! I really enjoyed Farah's fascinating (and delicious-sounding) journey through The Gauntlet. Don't read this while you're hungry; those food descriptions are to die for.
Can't wait to see more from Karuna! :D
