The Force of Fire by Sayantani DasGupta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another delightful entry into the Kingdom Beyond series, Force of Fire tells the backstory of our favorite rakkhosh Pinki, and Sesha, the Serpent King. Billed as The Pinki Adventures #1, this subseries set in Kiranmala’s world provides a strong female character coming into her own. Pinki is utterly delightful! In many ways this novel was more enjoyable than the Kiranmala series. Pinki’s acerbic humor is appealing even to adults and there is less tween/teen angst.
Strongly recommended for middle-grade summer reading. It’s easy to step into the series from Pinki’s vantage point and circle back to the Kiranmala books for further enjoyment.
I received a digital review copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
