The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi

4.0

"If you do not doubt, you do not see."

Star-touched Queen, is a novel with a hint of Filipino and Indian culture. I love the fact that the author chose to use Rajas instead of Kings. Swamyamvara instead of traditional weddings and Ranis instead of Princesses. The cover itself was enough to catch a reader's attention, it kinda have the "Wrath and the Dawn vibe on it and it was also intriguing.

Aside from the Filipino-Indian culture, it also has the Greek Myth side on it. Maya and Amar's love story was almost the same as Hades and Persephone's, with a slight touch of Cupid and Psyche.
The writing style was good, the way the places were describe was so vivid, it feels like the reader was there. I'm a little confused at some parts but I always managed to get the over all picture.

This novel is a must read :) I'm excited for the sequel, though it features a different set of characters, I still want to read it!
