Shiva's Fire Update 3

After reading Shiva's Fire, I found lots of spots where I could relate to, which was a huge plus for the book. When Pavarti had been working up her passion for dancing so that she could perform her arengretum, it reminded me about how I needed to rehearse for certain things so that I could perform them, whether it was with a group or just by myself. For example, rehearse the songs I'm playing for in marching band, or going to vocal rehearsals with my choir so that we can perform too. Even though I did like these moments in the book, I was not a huge fan of Shiva's Fire. I felt that while the plot seemed very interesting and the Indian culture in the book was also very intriguing, I couldn't really connect to characters too much. Even though for me, it was very easy to relate to Pavarti, it seemed like I couldn't really connect to Pavarti for any other reason. While Shiva's Fire was a nice book to introduce me to some Indian culture, I felt like Shiva's Fire was my least favorite book out of all of the other books.

This is the stage of an arengretum, like Pavarti had performed.
