I wanted to hold her hand and follow her through the story, and I'm not a hand-holding kind of girl. Wow. The language here is stunning and the world building is expertly done.<br /><br />Jasmine<br /><a href="http://www.garibaldihouse.com/_startup.php" rel="nofollow">Great data for Garibaldi House Inn Tillamook Hotels Oregon</a>Penelope Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732383763497653346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885997474763937942.post-54723900453671688592016-04-06T20:33:41.984+08:002016-04-06T20:33:41.984+08:00One of the main reasons why I really want to read ...One of the main reasons why I really want to read this book is 'cause I never read the one with Indian mythology and I'm excited to finally have a chance to just that. <br />Great interview and thanks for the giveaway! :)_Sandra_https://www.blogger.com/profile/13351756766811083536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885997474763937942.post-19876860978923951742016-03-28T01:39:37.706+08:002016-03-28T01:39:37.706+08:00I don't think I've ever read a book with I...I don't think I've ever read a book with Indian mythology before, that's part of the reason why I want to read The Star Touched Queen. It came into my radar when I read a review about this book saying how amazing it was; it immediately grabbed my attention.Cátiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343966287859487767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885997474763937942.post-15121309699533249682016-03-27T00:29:49.826+08:002016-03-27T00:29:49.826+08:00I love different cultures and reading about them!I love different cultures and reading about them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006424934594202694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885997474763937942.post-15240094953780810212016-03-24T20:04:23.281+08:002016-03-24T20:04:23.281+08:00I don't know much about Indian mythology, but ...I don't know much about Indian mythology, but I've read a lot about religions native to that country (Buddhism, and especially Hinduism -- read the Rig Veda and Bhagavad Gita). The distinction is irrelevant since I am equally interested in all aspects of this culture's varied literary and folklore traditions! I can't wait to explore some new concepts through this read.

Really really excited for this book--it's so different from most other YA; <br />1) The main character is married, and the story isn't about affairs (YESSSSS.) <br />2) INDIAN MYTHOLOGY! We finally get a story with Indian mythology!!! Not Greek/Egyptian/Norse. Indian!!!<br />3.) No. Love. Triangle. (I'm assuming this from the blurb.) Finally an author who gets that there are readers out there who absolutely hate love triangles.<br /><br />Thank you so much Ms. Chokshi for writing this!!!Evonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389317327236041821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885997474763937942.post-43444875350182209762016-03-20T12:28:15.618+08:002016-03-20T12:28:15.618+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Evonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389317327236041821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885997474763937942.post-24910828844527104242016-03-19T00:07:11.851+08:002016-03-19T00:07:11.851+08:00Oooo this looks great!
