Review:
This was a magical story filled with beautiful writing, amazing world building, and captivating characters. I absolutely love reading books with different cultures. It’s such a breath of fresh air from the normal typical fantasies out there, and this was definitely a special read. Oh to fly among the clouds and soar in the sky with the stars! Sheetal was a courageous and selfless girl who sacrificed again and again on her quest to save her father. Torn from the life she loved and thrown into a world she knew very little about. To not be accepted for who she was on earth, and yet also not quite fitting in among the Stars.
What an emotional ride. I found this to be such a a fun easy read, and was sad when it was over. I wanted more. More on the Star bleeders. More of the Star’s history... just more! My only wish was for a more established villain ... an eviler evil. I enjoyed this book immensely and hope for more from this beautiful world!
Synopsis:
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.
