Hi all!
My name is Chiara and I am a Bookworm.
How are you?
I think you all know what Can’t Wait Wednesday but I will remind you once again. Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.
I’ve mentioned this book a few times over the past few weeks in my release lists and other places and every time it comes up people have mention just how excited they are for this book. It’s made me rather excited to and I have it sat in my Waterstones basket waiting to be ordered the next time that I get paid.

Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
Pub date: 11th August 2020
Goodreads | Waterstones
Blurb
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.
