3/5 Stars: ‘Star Daughter’ is a Young Adult, Mythological Fantasy by Shveta Thakrar; ‘Star Daughter’ is an intriguing fantasy that uniquely blends Hindu Mythology and Astronomy with a protagonist on the cusp of adulthood. Thakrar has talent for descriptions that evoke a vivid, dazzling array of sights and sound, drawing the reader into a richly conceived and wildly imaginative world. Some of the writing is almost poetic, though at times, it struggles to maintain it creative and colourful counterpart – the fantasy world. The pace is rather slow, with twists being easily predictable; that said, it is an entertaining exploration into Hindu Mythology. Hinduism is rich of culture, and how the myths are woven into the plot is phenomenal – potentially having a glossary for key-terms would have been beneficial for those with little insight knowledge into the religion.
