Storybook Favorites

I enjoyed reading this story very much. The concept the author used for this story is almost like a reality show. Every chapter starts off with a “welcome everyone” or “welcome back” so that gave a reality show type of vibe. From the description, I wasn’t expecting it to be a full mixture of challenges and a scavenger hunt type race. I had already known about the general history of animosity that Lord Rama and Sita had with Ravana. I like that he provided some history because I got to learn a few new things myself. He used the “challenges” in every chapter as a way to incorporate pictures into the story. I like the layout of the story. It’s not too fancy and extraordinary but it’s also not too boring and basic as well. 

I’ve always been a fan of the mystery/crime genre of books and movies, so this one really had me intrigued from the beginning. I like that the author portrayed” multiple stories as “cases” in his story. It made me remember all of the stories that my mom would tell me about the Pandavas and Rama and Ravana. These just had a little twist to it. I think the layout of the story was great. It was straightforward and made the story just flow. The physical layout as well is nice. 

Out of all the stories I read, this one was my favorite. I am a huge Harry Potter fan so this was so fun to read. The author set up the whole story very nicely. Firstly, she has a whole separate page for characters which I think is a really good idea because it gives you a little insight on the characters before you start reading the story. She even provides a link to a BuzzFeed quiz that tells you which Hogwarts house you’d get, and then you can use your answer to find out what house in her story you would get so I thought that was really good. She uses the story of Lord Rama and his brothers. Each house is named after a brother and students get chosen in their house based on the qualities of the brothers they most relate to. Overall, I think this was a really good story. Her layout of the page, the images she used, they are all really good.
