Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar // Night Markets, Star Courts and Desi goodness
GOODREADS // AMAZON // BOOK DEPOSITORY 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. This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman's Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy.

This is not normally a genre I read, but some of those covers are absolutely beautiful - I especially love #1, #2, and #3 (my fave). Very interesting list!

Ikr! They have such stunning covers :) Thanks for stopping by! Going over to check out yours :)
DeleteCool! Fabulous idea to go with lesser known titles. None of these are familiar to me, which is great because who doesn't love discovering new books!? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It makes me sad that these books aren't famous despite being pretty awesome! Yes oh YES! i love discovering new books :)
DeleteI love this list because I've not heard of many of these books and it's fun to have different recommendations.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) I wanted people to know about these amazing books!
DeleteGreat list! I love fantasy, but I haven't read any of these yet, so I definitely have to add them to my TBR :) Thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Anytime! Wanted to give a shout-out to these books :)
DeleteWonderful picks :) I LOVE fantasy, and I hadn't heard of most of these books before, so thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy :) I'm glad! Do check them out :)
DeleteOH I LOVE FANTASY SO THIS IS PERFECT. *clicks on everything* I'm actually in a bit of a mood because I just finished the BEST fantasy ever and I have nothing to go onto.😂 So maybe I shall find the answer here. Brilliant list. <3 :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes!! You should try Scarlet Moon! It's stabby :P kinda.. :P Dark Things is a bit stabby too! Thank you :)
DeleteNice to see lesser knows ones instead of just the usual blockbusters. these are all new to me but I love the look of Raven Song and Silver Blood (both have awesome covers).
ReplyDeleteRaven Song is among my favourite covers ever! I really like Birds or animals on the cover I think!! :) Thanks for stopping by...
DeleteYou're spot on when you say these books need greater appreciation - we've never heard of these books ourselves! Silver Blood has such a chilling cover title - it seems the most interesting, perhaps we'll give it a try! It's interesting you like animals on the cover, we think having people/humanoid people conveys more depth and insight into the nature of the book, but that's just our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteExactly! It makes me sad that some of favourites aren't even known to many!! Silver Blood has quite an unique plot-line! Do give it a try :) I see what you mean! Actually I think I like animals and mostly birds on the cover as they seem kinda aesthetic to me (that's my fancy way of saying the cover looks pretty :P) But I suck at judging books by their covers! I end up making wrong assumptions!
DeleteThanks for stopping by! :)
These are ALL new to me and I adore fantasy! Thank you so much for all the new suggestions! I'm adding them to my TBR!
