The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi

5.0

The residue of this author's lyrical writing still sits with me now that I've finished. I was briefly reminded of Rosamund Hodge's "Cruel Beauty" but each story holds their own. Chokshi's words begged for my attention and I found it impossible to skim through any detail, favoring instead to savor each detail, to occasionally drift off and really put myself into the book... And for a book so centered on storytelling, this novel has the attention-capturing cadence of spoken-word storytelling itself. To say I loved this would be a mild comment indeed.
