 Title: Solomon’s Crown 

Author: Natasha Siegal 

Genre: Historical Fiction / LGBTQ Romance
 Rating: 3.5 / 5
 Review: 

This book was very cute. There was no real feeling of suspense or worry despite the subjects of war and the like. So, I would classify the novel as a ‘Cozy’ Historical Fiction though I am unsure if others would agree. 

The prose was beautiful and well written, reminding me a log of Song of Achilles, and each character was well rounded and unique. 

This book was given such a high rating, not because I enjoyed it (tbh I was quite bored with most of it, though it’s obvious that I am not the target audience) but rather because I can not find many faults with the book. The two that I did find were simply that the book’s pace was slow and monotonous, and there were many repetitive aspects of the main characters. 

Overall, though, It was definitely a solid read and highly recommend it to individuals that enjoy Historical Fiction and Cozy LGBT novels.
