Star-Touched #2
“But why settle for a story, when I could start a legend?”
Wow, what a beautiful novel! From the magnificent imagery, to the delectable bites of Hindu folklore, to the thrilling adventure of self-discovery and change, this book had me hooked from the beginning. And I was skeptical, putting its predecessor, The Star-Touched Queen, firmly on my “it’s alright” list. But A Crown of Wishes contained everything that I felt was missing from the former: a coherent plot, a sense of urgency and drive to move the story forward, and most importantly characters with depth and heart who change and grow as a result of the story. Vikram’s and Gauri’s journey was wondrous to behold, and I’m so glad that I gave this book a chance.
