I was very excited to dive into Star Daughter and I liked the tone and the protagonist almost immediately and after the author’s description of samosas, I was a goner.
(Drop by their blogs, they’re all darlings <3)
Star Daughter was one of the books that I had chosen to read for the IndLitReadathon organized by Shruti Is Lit, Charvi at Just Fiction and Nandini at and Nebulas. Received an Advanced Reader’s Copy from the publisher, HarperTeen, via Edelweiss+ in exchange for an honest review. How people could be shocked by something, a bit of information that didn’t fit what they knew of the world, and then expand and grow around it, into it, until it becomes part of them, just another piece in an overarching narrative. Sheetal’s quest to save her father will take her to a celestial court of shining wonders and dark shadows, where she must take the stage as her family’s champion in a competition to decide the next ruling house of the heavens–and win, or risk never returning to Earth at all.īrimming with celestial intrigue, this sparkling YA debut is perfect for fans of Roshani Chokshi and Laini Taylor. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago. Pretending to be “normal.” But when an accidental flare of her starfire puts her human father in the hospital, Sheetal needs a full star’s help to heal him. The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets. This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy.
