Exclusive Aru Shah Interview

It’s Aru Shah and the Song of Death release day! We finally made it! To celebrate, we sat down with our hero to check in on all the important questions: creatures, quest materials, Costco, you name it.

Read Riordan: Do you think you’ve changed since discovering you’re a reincarnated Pandava warrior? If so, how?

Aru: Kinda? I got taller? But that probably has nothing to do with being a Pandava. And now I’ve got Mini, who’s the strangest best friend and sister I definitely did not ask for. And Boo, who will probably nip my ear if he catches me “talking to the press.” It’s mostly great. Sometimes I wake up and I’m like “WOOHOO! MAGIC!” and other times it’s like “What am I doing and who am I?” It’s . . . a lot.

Read Riordan: Are you excited by the prospect of meeting more Pandava sisters?

Aru: I WANT TO MEET THAT GIRL WHO TURNED INTO A WOLF! So, yeah. But why was she carrying that weird golden bow? Oh well. I’m sure it doesn’t matter.

Read Riordan: Of all the creatures/beings you’ve encountered on your adventures so far, which/who has been your favorite?

Aru: The Palace of Illusions! Palace makes the best ice cream. I miss it a lot, actually. If you’re listening, Palace, we haven’t forgotten you!

Read Riordan: If you could choose one item from the Warehouse of Quest Materials, what would it be?

Aru: What’s the one item that can fit in all the other items? (*Mini smacks her arm*) WHAT? I’m literally just answering the question. It’s not like there were any conditions!

Read Riordan: Which would win in a fight, Costco or Home Depot?

Aru: Ooh, tough. Costco’s got more stuff, but Home Depot has, like, an aisle of chainsaws. . . . I’d say it’s a tie.
