The Star-Touched Queen

Though I enjoyed the mythology, my favorite part of this book was Maya's personal journey. I really liked her due to her determination, hopefulness, and strong belief in accountability. The last third of the book didn't work quite as well for me as the rest because (unpopular opinion time!) I thought Kamala was a dull character. I know. A flesh-eating demon horse sounds like an excellent addition to any novel, and I seem to be very much in the minority on this one, but I didn't find her compelling. However, I thought the book was good overall and would like to read the companion novel about Guari.

3 1/2 stars
