Review of 'The Star-Touched Queen' on 'Storygraph'

No rating

This has a lot of vivid imagery and is a slow, character-driven romance. It's very focused on what's happening in the main character's head and her thoughts and feelings about what's happening. That's not the kind of book I'm looking for, unfortunately.

The Star-Touched Queen : 4 stars


I was surprised at the "low" rating for this book (around 3.50), I really liked this.

The writing is very descriptive and also poetic, from the beginning I wanted to highlight some quotes and could imagine the world of this book really well.

This book had friendship, romance, drama, mythology, was not too long or too short, its not perfect but very entertaining and enjoyable^^
