I was lucky enough to be provided an eARC and I am so glad I was able to read it. The book is filled with amazing characters that made me cry, laugh, and feel so many other emotions. I loved the world the author built especially as the inhabitants gifts are based on astrology. Casper, originally from Earth is labeled as Novilem’s Telos and taken to a new world where he meets Helix. As Casper trains his abilities he is also slowly uncovering Noveilem’s injustices and falling in love with Helix, the grandson of the women who is charge. I can’t say it enough but I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait until the second one. The plot is insane, the characters are unique, and the romance is absolutely adorable. I will also say that the world building is amazing!!!! The author managed to explain everything in a way that wasn’t super repetitive and yet everything made sense. Recommend this books for anybody that loves sci-fi queer novels.
