"Shveta Thakrar's prose is as beautiful as starlight." (New York Times best-selling author Holly Black)
This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy.
The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets. Pretending to be “normal”. But when an accidental flare of her starfire puts her human father in the hospital, Sheetal needs a full star’s help to heal him. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago.
Sheetal’s quest to save her father will take her to a celestial court of shining wonders and dark shadows, where she must take the stage as her family’s champion in a competition to decide the next ruling house of the heavens - and win, or risk never returning to Earth at all.
Brimming with celestial intrigue, this sparkling YA debut is perfect for fans of Roshani Chokshi and Laini Taylor.

A wonderful Hindu mythology inspired starry story
I loved this! It had me hooked at the premise of a half human half star main character, the Hindu inspired astrology and beautiful 'stars' were definitely unique and I appreciated the diverse cast of South East Asian characters and a SEA myself. I throughly enjoyed the unique star mythology and lore. The pacing can be slow at times and there is a teen romance, although characters weren't memorable but still enjoyable to read/listen to.
Do not expect high fantasy levels of detail into the world building, it's more of a YA contemporary with family dramas into a setting of a starry celestial court.
