Ayan's Book Review
Rea and the Blood of the Nectar

-by Payal Doshi


I love to read books set in different places in the world, and I was so happy to read a book that was set in Darjeeling, India. This story follows a twelve-year-old girl Rea and the escapades of finding her twin brother Rohan.

The night Rea and her brother Rohan turn twelve, they had a huge fight. And strangely early in the morning, Rohan went missing. 

Their Amma was in shock and acted as if Rohan was missing forever, and their grandmother, too, started acting weirdly. Rea and her friends set off on a quest to find Rohan. They met an old fortune-teller who helped them in the pursuit, and they found a portal to Astranthia. And then started the magical and adventurous quest of “Rea and the Blood of the Nectar.” 

Will Rea ever find her brother? Or will she be lost in the magical world forever?
Join Rea as she solves the clues to find her brother and save the land of Astranthia.

The themes in this book include family values, friendship, and perseverance. Rea’s development as a character is wonderful, as she learns to come out of her comfort zone and make friends along the way. There were no boring or confusing parts, making the entire story was easy to follow.

I recommend this book to children 8 years and above. I give this book 5/5 stars as this is a very engaging read, and I couldn’t wait for our family reading time. Can't wait for the next book in this series.


Happy reading!
-Ayan
