Review Detail

"The Star-Touched Queen" is a beautifully written story with lyrical prose that pulls you into this fascinating story. Maya has always lived with a curse hanging over her head related to her marriage. As such, she has resigned herself to never being married. However, fate has other plans for her and soon she is selecting a husband. As she journeys with her new husband to his kingdom, she learns things are much more complicated than she expected.

With twists and turns and secrets and reveals, this book captured my attention and didn't let go until the very end. As a retelling of Hades and Persephone, I found this to be a lovely and fascinating read. I highly recommend for YA fantasy lovers! I am definitely interested in picking up the next book in this series.
