The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets. 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. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago.
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.
This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman's Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy.
MY REVIEW: 1 Star ⭐️
My mother is a star. I am half earth, half of heavens. Cut me, and I might bleed silver. My skin is a rich brown, the exact shade of my human father’s skin, but my hair is long and thick and frosted like the moon. In my chest burns a fiery core that beats in time with the music of the spheres, their song deep and layered with dreams.
Son of a damn shit hole!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so mad!!!
This was one of the books on my most anticipated books of the year. Of course, I thought it was going to be something totally different, but that’s neither here nor there. And naturally, I got two beautiful editions through FairyLoot and Owlcrate with purple sprayed edges and golden shimmery sprayed edges! I had planned on keeping them both, but no, I have to trade them both in! I’m just going to start hating all pretty books before I read them so they might be good!
I don’t even know half of what was going on in the book! I guess I’m not artistic enough to get it. Whatever, sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I hope others love the book and I hope the people that buy my trade in really love it. I do love to put smiles on others faces.
