The Star-Touched Queen

I think this story had a strong start. Hinted at great powers, subtle forces moving beyond the control of the main character!

But the main story was a little flatter. Mind you, it was still a pretty enjoyable listen. It wasn't very demanding of the listener. And it's great to have a fantasy YA novel that takes place somewhere other than fake-Europe.

I recommend listening to it. But I probably won't listen to it twice

Interesting story mixed with Indian and Persian myths with elements from Neil Gailman's Stardust book.

this a story of lies and hopes. lies of false and hope of remembering love. at some point if was, funny,sad and heart warming. narration was great and fit the story lines. this book isn't a cliffhanger but hoping there would be another book about there life

This story has some insanely beautiful descriptions. The author uses poetic and vivid language to describe various aspects in the book, but the plot line, character relationships and story arc are all EXTREMELY WEAK. For a large portion of the book I had no idea what was going on or why. I didn't feel like there was any love or bond between the two MC's. I don't think I'll be continuing on with the series. It took a lot for me to power through to the end of this book.....

I really liked this story and wanted to love it but there were some parts in the beginning that took a while to get into. Once the second part started I was hooked. Kamala , the demon horse was fantastic and I think has more than earner her place among my top sidekicks. The story wrapped up very nicely and I wasn't left with any questions, extra hopes or even expectations.

Maybe if I had read a physical copy I would've felt more connected to the main protagonist but still, the star touched queen was an enjoyable read.

I adore everything about this audiobook. The narrator is excellent. She makes you feel so close to the main character. And the voices she does for some of the other characters are great. The story is awesome. The way it weaves together its big mythic elements and the daily ordinary (or extraordinary) lives of the characters is really lovely. It's funny and magical and powerful.

This book almost seemed like two different books from part one to part two. Both were written with such beautiful weaving of words I was captured immediately.

Maya is on a journey of discovery. She learns the strength she has within as well as details into her past that help explain her present.

The world building was at time difficult to keep up with. I listened via the Audible narration to most of this book and sometimes had to reread on my kindle to catch all the details.

If you enjoy fantasy and worlds that capture a culture so beautifully pick up this book.

this was so different from anything I've read, but it was so good. A completely new world was created and I enjoyed getting lost in it.

Fantastic characters and beautiful descriptions. I couldn't tear myself away from the story. Highly recommend.

Overall this is an enjoyable ride through a dream land. Like a dream it is hard to grasp at times and the transitions between each scenes or sentence will sometimes leave you lost. I've found myself rewinding often due to this. As much as this book is beautifully detailed -it lacks the detail that takes you from one place to another. Granted this isn't for reality: it is fog, dreams, star and moonshine with edible gemstones! and details like this kept me listening♡
