It doesn’t surprise me that Cyra Aggarwal, the book-blogger behind The Literary Vault, has written her own book at age 16. Her thoughtful interviews on The Literary Vault show her deep love of reading and writing and I’m very excited that she’s taken this passion to the next level with her debut novel The Architect of the Minds.
