Crown of Starlight by Cait Corrain
5.0

I received an advance copy of this book for review!

The cover is STUNNING. I’m literally counting down the days until it can grace my bookshelf in person.

I really enjoyed the world building in this book - it is a fascinating take on Ancient Greek stories that casts the ancient cities as whole planets, makes Olympus a sun and blends the ancient with future technology.

The characters are quite endearing - Ariadne is vibrant and struggles with anxiety and her sense of self, but really grows into her own throughout the book. Dionysus is a delightful presence that irritates and soothes her by turns. Most of the other characters are less fleshed out but no less endearing. I truly enjoyed the romance and the spicy scenes get a 10/10 for me! I look forward to rereading this book and reading the sequels!
