This wasn't what I was hoping for. The main character is a sweet perfect Mary Sue type, which I could deal with if the plot didn't have so many dangling threads. Maybe I'm looking for more complexity than is needed in a YA novel, but the whole Nalini section and the bit with Rama's powers seemed like they were going to go somewhere and didn't. Even her mom, that thread seemed to fall flat after Parvati saw that her family was doing well. Also, why was Rama jumping to a marriage proposal when this is obviously a modern India and they're like 14? Come on, guys, you don't have to decide anything now. While I did love reading a story in this setting with this mythology, I found it frustrating. Younger readers might enjoy it.
