Representaion Toward Books A Crown of Wishes (The Star-Touched Queen #2)
An ancient mystery. An unlikely union. For one young princess in a state of peril, a dangerous wish could be the only answer…She is the princess of Bharata—captured by her kingdom’s enemies, a prisoner of war. Now that she faces a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. But should she trust Vikram, the notoriously cunning prince of a neighboring land? He promises her freedom in exchange for her battle prowess. Together they can team up and win the Tournament of Wishes, a competition held in a mythical city where the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor. It seems like a foolproof plan—until Gauri and Vikram arrive at the tournament and find that danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans, mischievous story birds, a feast of fears, and twisted fairy revels. New trials will test their devotion, strength, and wits. But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there’s nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.

So what is A Crown of Wishes?It is a carefully-crafted creation of hopes and fears, subtly laced with winsome romance and witty humor, ineffable charms and incredible challenges, each world-building word building upon itself with the precise and ancient symmetry of a mystic maze-like mandala until one realizes they've crossed the magical barrier between reading and reality, where Roshani Chokshi grants the reader the truest wish of their heart by fulfilling the very purpose of the story itself.Absolutely stunning. Every single word of this book is exquisite--and the lush, intricate world-building is nothing short of remarkable. (I pretty much alternated sighing over the glorious prose with sighing over Vikram.) Gauri is one hell of a nuanced, badass heroine, and the vivid world she inhabits is full of wondrous magic, deadly intrigues, and creatures from your loveliest dreams and darkest nightmares. As much as I adored THE STAR-TOUCHED QUEEN, I think I might love A CROWN OF WISHES even
Things this book promised me:1. Snarky ship that will own my heart2. Captivating, enchanting plot Things this book delivered:1. Snarky ship that owns my heart So, was this book good? Yes, it was pretty darn good. But it wasnt fantastic so sit down and pour yourself a cup of tea, lets talk. - I would die for Vikram, let this be known - Guari is one of those princess warriors that everyone wants to be when they grow up - Aasha is basically me the kid has so much dreams but doesnt know what to do
5/5 stars (are we even surprised)Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EG4a...How is it even possible that this book is even better than the first? Roshani Chokshi's way with words blows my mind. She creates such beautiful angelic sentences that have memorized. The characters are ones that I LOVE and although I adored the characters in TSTQ, I loved these even more (yet again how is that even possible). I even loved the romance more in this book. Since TSTQ was her debut novel, you can
If youd lean in close to my chest right now and listen closely, youd hear a soft chorus of read this bookread this book in place of my heartbeat because this was so good why didnt I read it sooner?Have you ever enjoyed reading a book so much that you couldn't stand it? It fills up your insides, all the way to the brim, and you feel like you could overflow? You like it so much you dont know what to do with yourself? I wish I could somehow show all of you the beauty contained in this book, instead
11/2017 edit: I just turned in my very last Star-Touched queen novella, which is about Gauri & Vikram after the events of A CROWN OF WISHES and now I feel very nostalgic...to all of you who have read and reviewed ACOW and brought it to the attention of other readers, thank you so much. Writing in this world freed up parts of my heart I didn't know needed freeing. I'm not sure if or when I'll return to this world again, but I am glad that I got the chance to wander through it even one last
