A few places you can go to get your hands on a copy are:įor more information about Roshani Chokshi and her work, visit her website. Overall, I rate A Crown of Wishes 5 out of 5 bookworms.ĭon’t just take my word for it. Even the heartbreaking, soul crushing parts. However, there is some content in A Crown of Wishes that will spoil The Star-Touched Queen so I will recommend you read that first if you’ve got it on your TBR. A Crown of Wishes can be enjoyed without having read The Star-Touched Queen. I do want to add that while this is a companion novel to The Star-Touched Queen, it’s not necessarily a sequel to it. I also loved the subtle, yet effective, plot twists used to pull the story along without snagging. A Crown of Wishes is a total page turner and I had so much trouble putting it down. The story itself is absolutely stunning! It flows well and kept me wanting more from beginning to end. A Crown of Wishes takes us back to a bit of the magic of The Star-Touched Queen, but adds into it and creates a world that is both separate from and connected to its companion novel. It’s definitely good for an escapism read in that way. The world is built up in a completely immersive way, which, again, I’ve come to expect from Roshani Chokshi’s work. well, you’re welcome to your own opinion, but it’s wrong. (For proof, see above.) Gauri and Vikram are completely OTP worthy and I don’t want to hear otherwise. Also, obviously, the dialogue in A Crown of Wishes is A++.

I literally ran out of space in my notebook where I write them down and just started writing % marks where I have them highlighted.

But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there’s nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.įavorite Exerpts: (may be different in finished book) Once they arrive, danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans and mischievous story birds, a feast of fears and twisted fairy revels.Įvery which way they turn new trials will test their wit and strength. Reaching the tournament is just the beginning. Together, they’ll have to set aside their differences and team up to win the Tournament of Wishes-a competition held in a mythical city where the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor. Unsatisfied with becoming a mere puppet king, Vikram offers Gauri a chance to win back her kingdom in exchange for her battle prowess. Hope unexpectedly comes in the form of Vikram, the cunning prince of a neighboring land and her sworn enemy kingdom. Faced with a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. Gauri, the princess of Bharata, has been taken as a prisoner of war by her kingdom’s enemies.
