Star-Touched Stories by Roshani Chokshi

5.0

Star-Touched Stories returns to the world of A Star-Touched Queen and A Crown of Wishes with three short stories of love, friendship, and self-discovery. Death and Night illustrates that even deities are not exempt from the desire for love and the fear of rejection. In Poision and Gold, a young woman struggling with her identity finds the strength to be herself. And finally, Rose and Sword illuminates both the joy and the pain of intense love. In typical fashion, Roshani Chokshi makes the reader feel like they have been transported to a world of magic and dreams where anything is possible, drawing on the rich well of Indian mythology. The stories revisit some of the beloved characters from the earlier novels, but are also strong stand-alones. Hopefully this won't be the last we see of the Star-Touched universe!
