Star Daughter

i am so sad that i didn't love this book as it had so much promise but didn't reach quite what i wanted from it. while i did appreciate the nods to hindu mythology, the complex governing star politics, and the motivation to save her dad, the writing did not work for me. i couldn't tell if my main issue was the YA speak or the pacing or the repetitiveness, but i wish that more of the word count had been spent describing this beautiful world that was crafted and less on... kissing dev. however i believe there's lots of potential for great books to come from thakrar!!
