Alyssa asked Roshani Chokshi:

Hi Roshani! I adored A Star-Touched Queen! It was so poetic and such a page turner! I knoe it must be fantasic for you to have so many readers that praise your work. What are some authors and books you praise and adore ? Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!

Roshani Chokshi Hi! :) Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the book <3 Authors and books I love....oh gosh. Too many to count. Here's some off the top of my head. I'm completely enraptured by the prose of Catherynne Valente (DEATHLESS), Donna Tart (THE SECRET HISTORY) and Laini Taylor (DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE). The fierce, emotional and atmospheric writing of Renee Ahdieh (THE WRATH AND THE DAWN), S. Jae-Jones (WINTERSONG) and Sarah Nicole Lemon (DONE DIRT CHEAP) make me want to eat the pages. I feel gutted by the characters of Seanan Maguire (EVERY HEART A DOORWAY) and comforted by the fairytale lull of Martine Leavitt (KETURAH AND LORD DEATH). The colored panels of Amar Chitra Katha comic books look like my childhood and every autumn I reread WILDWOOD DANCING by Juliette Marillier. :)
