Sheetal's mother has been gone since she was a little girl, but she carries her mother's legacy. As the daughter of a star who fell in love and came to earth for a time, she left Sheetal with silvery hair and the ability to hear the stars singing. Sheetal's auntie and father have always told her to keep her secret hidden, so she covers her hair with black dye and she's never sung in public even though singing is her favorite thing.
But now something strange is happening. Her hair seems to reject the black dye, and the starsong is so strong sometimes he can't ignore it. One day her emotions run strong and she accidentally burns her father with starfire. The only remedy is blood from a full star, so Sheetal and her best friend leave on a quest to save her father.
When she arrives, nothing is what she expected. Her family has been calling her to join them and participate in a competition for control of the celestial court. Sheetal only wants to save her father, but she won't be able to do that unless she agrees to help her mother's family.
I really wanted to like Sveta Thakrar's new book, but it just wasn't for me. The minute it turned into America's Got Talent, Celestial Edition, I completely lost interest. It all seemed a little silly. Also, silver hair is a thing. Why didn't she just let it go and tell people she dyed it?
