Last year, I bought THE STAR-TOUCHED QUEEN by Roshani Chokshi and couldn't put it down. Needless to say, I was beyond excited to read A CROWN OF WISHES and very glad to get an ARC through Netgalley.
ACOW has the same lush and beautiful writing as we saw in TSTQ. The sass has upped a level from the "first" book (though not a series); the banter between Gauri and Vikram is absolutely priceless. Gauri is a badass heroine and is very different to Maya, though I love both equally. Please don't ever make me choose! |

A CROWN OF WISHES
  |
Gauri, the princess of Bharata, has been taken as a prisoner of war by her kingdom’s enemies. Faced with a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. Hope unexpectedly comes in the form of Vikram, the cunning prince of a neighboring land and her sworn enemy kingdom. Unsatisfied with becoming a mere puppet king, Vikram offers Gauri a chance to win back her kingdom in exchange for her battle prowess. 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.

Reaching the tournament is just the beginning. Once they arrive, danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans and mischievous story birds, a feast of fears and twisted fairy revels.
Every which way they turn new trials will test their wit and strength. But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there’s nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.
