I enjoyed this book--I think I might have enjoyed it slightly more if I remembered more about Star-Touched Queen (aside from finding the Dharma Raja deeply attractive), since it took me a while to recall what I knew about the characters. I liked both Gauri and Vikram and appreciated the ways that their stories ran both parallel and intertwined. I felt like there was a little less overall cohesion than the previous book, although Star Touched Queen did benefit from drawing on the same underlying trope as the cupid and psyche/east of the sun, west of the moon myths and I love those.
I also really disliked the last few pages.

I TOTALLY get the "don't tell her anything and make her show up and surprise her" trope, but the older I get, the grumpier it makes me. Just communicate, people!

I will be keeping my eye on Chokshi; I really like her stuff and her sense of what makes a good fairy tale. (Detail! So much glorious detail!)
