Summary of this Book...
Fate and fortune. Power and passion. What does it take to be the queen of a kingdom when you’re only seventeen?

Maya is cursed. With a horoscope that promises a marriage of death and destruction, she has earned only the scorn and fear of her father’s kingdom. Content to follow more scholarly pursuits, her whole world is torn apart when her father, the Raja, arranges a wedding of political convenience to quell outside rebellions. Soon Maya becomes the queen of Akaran and wife of Amar. Neither roles are what she expected: As Akaran’s queen, she finds her voice and power. As Amar’s wife, she finds something else entirely: Compassion. Protection. Desire…

But Akaran has its own secrets—thousands of locked doors, gardens of glass, and a tree that bears memories instead of fruit. Soon, Maya suspects her life is in danger. Yet who, besides her husband, can she trust? With the fate of the human and Otherworldly realms hanging in the balance, Maya must unravel an ancient mystery that spans reincarnated lives to save those she loves the most…including herself.
This type of Book is good for...
People who like myth retellings.
I especially liked...
The change in mythological retellings. It wasn't a nordic retelling or a sci-fi retelling, it was a mythical Indian retelling. (Insert my high pitched squealing here) The story was so unique and the mythology was intriguing and wonderful.
I didn't like...
The slow parts of the story. There were some moments like
book: what is happening
me: nothing, nothing is happening
book: oh okay. What is happening?

Those were a little aggravating, but there weren't many of those moments.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Look up Indian mythology. It is seriously cool.
The author of this Book...
Roshani Chokshi
I recommend this Book because...
It is a unique, awesome read with a unique and awesome story line. It totally broke through some YA cliches.
