I really had to work hard to push some things aside to get to the story, and I don’t always love having have to work for the stories I’m reading. But the execution is what I had trouble with. Stories of lives and love being intertwined in the way the Maya’s is with Amar (no spoilers) – I love them.

I didn’t care too much for Maya (more on that later) but I love Amar and Gauri. I love the setting, the Otherworld, the Night Bazaar. On one hand, I absolutely love this story. I’ve read The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi twice now and after two times, I still have mixed feelings. Since the second book in the series would be published soon, I decided to revisit this book with a print + audiobook reread. I first read The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi in 2016 around the time of publication but never got around to publishing a review for life reasons. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Yet who, besides her husband, can she trust? With the fate of the human and Otherworldly realms hanging in the balance, Maya must unravel an ancient mystery that spans reincarnated lives to save those she loves the most…including herself. Soon, Maya suspects her life is in danger. Desire…īut Akaran has its own secrets-thousands of locked doors, gardens of glass, and a tree that bears memories instead of fruit. As Amar’s wife, she finds something else entirely: Compassion. Neither roles are what she expected: As Akaran’s queen, she finds her voice and power. Soon Maya becomes the queen of Akaran and wife of Amar.

Content to follow more scholarly pursuits, her whole world is torn apart when her father, the Raja, arranges a wedding of political convenience to quell outside rebellions. With a horoscope that promises a marriage of death and destruction, she has earned only the scorn and fear of her father’s kingdom. What does it take to be the queen of a kingdom when you’re only seventeen? Martin's Griffin on April 26, 2016īuy from Amazon| Buy from Barnes & Noble| Buy from Book Depositoryįate and fortune.
