I think the author does a great job of keeping the series light and fun for middle-grade readers but still showing that teens can do hard things and face hard things, but it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom-a great ending to a fun series. The connection to the spin-off about Pinki becoming queen is blended nicely into this story, so we are set up for coming next. I would like to see a more substantial conflict with Sesha as they have been a threat from the first book, and that conflict sort of fizzles out and gets lost in the various other side stories. I would like to have that broadened to explore the other problems teens struggle with to make the characters more identifiable. The book has the character work through prejudices which is an issue all people struggle with. In this final book, our main character Kiran has secured her confidence as a heroine and needs to combine that with teamwork. The author gives us references to where the stories come from in the back of the book. The story's chaos fits well with the title chaos curse, and the nature of the disorder with the multiverse lends itself well to the blending of the various tales.
