Khorana, Aditi

YA
Princess Amrita's life is upended when circumstances force her to marry a neighboring kingdom's malevolent ruler. After Emperor Sikander lays waste to her homeland, Amrita quests to find a mythical library that will give her the power to change the past. Khorana makes deft use of symbolism informed by various world religions yet retains command of her own prose in this evocative fantasy.

YA
Middle-class, Indian American Tara feels like an outsider at her Connecticut private school. After scientists receive a radio transmission from an alternate Earth, the popular crew invites Tara into their ranks. While the "mirror planet" stirs up Tara's home life and provides her brief moments of contemplation about what her parallel-self might be up to, the otherworldly premise unfortunately takes a backseat to social drama.
