About the Creator

Shveta Thakrar is a part-time nagini and full-time believer in magic. Her work has appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies, including Enchanted Living, Uncanny Magazine, A Thousand Beginnings and Endings, and Toil & Trouble. Her debut young adult fantasy novel, Star Daughter, was a finalist for the 2021 Andre Norton Nebula Award, and her second and third novels, The Dream Runners and the forthcoming Divining the Leaves, take place in the same universe. When not spinning stories about spider silk and shadows, magic and marauders, and courageous girls illuminated by dancing rainbow flames, Shveta crafts, devours books, daydreams, travels, bakes, and occasionally even plays her harp.

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.

A wonderful Hindu mythology inspired starry story
