The Chaos Curse (Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond #3)

by Sayantani DasGupta (Author) Sayantani DasGupta (Illustrator)

The Chaos Curse (Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond #3)

Kiranmala must leave the Kingdom Beyond and travel to her hometown of Parsippany to save Prince Lal, who has been spirited to the unlikeliest of places -- a tree in the yard of her best-enemy-for-life. She also faces evil serpents (of course!), plus a frightening prophecy about her role in the coming conflict between good and evil. Most troubling of all, though, is the way reality all around her seems to waver and flicker at odd moments. Could it be that the Anti-Chaos Committee's efforts are causing a dangerous disruption in the multiverse?

Kiran must grapple with the increasingly tangled threads that threaten to ensnare her...and everyone in the world and the Kingdom Beyond.

Starred Review

An eminently satisfying closer to a thoughtful, complex, and very funny adventure series. 

None

DasGupta tackles metaphysics along with ideas of prejudice, colonization, erasure, and the importance of narrative complexity.

Review quotes


I Really Liked this Book

Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond is such a fun series---it's lighthearted and easy to get into. Kiran is a relatable main character, and it's always great to see the princess leading her own way and as a powerful role model. This series reminded me of Aru Shah, though it was unique and an exciting separate adventure.
