Crown of Starlight by Cait Corrain
1.0
Thank you to the Author and Netgalley for providing me with an arc of Crown of Starlight.
This book follows Ariadne and her journey to escape from her monstrous father and the strict religious culture of her star system, as well as her growth from stifled to uninhibited and her love story.
I was unfamiliar with this particular branch of Greek mythology as I tend to read hades x persephone retellings. That being said, I was initially annoyed with Ariadne and her personality before she was finally free. Seeing her break out of the cage that she was shoved in her entire life was very satisfying. I felt the more I read, the deeper the characters developed. The banter was great between the love interest and her. I loved the teasing and jokes. The nymphs were also great side characters.
It was a slow burn but the tension was there for a good portion of the beginning. The spice was great when it finally came into play, with the exception of the wlw scene that I felt could have been more developed. It felt a bit awkward and rushed.
Overall, I think if you loved this branch of Greek mythology, this will be right up your alley. It's well written and has some well developed characters.
